Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has intensified his criticism of US-Israeli military strikes against Iran, labelling the escalating conflict a “disaster.” This diplomatic rift follows a decision by the Spanish government to block the use of its bases for these operations.
Speaking at a press conference alongside German Chancellor Friedrich Merz on Tuesday (3 March), Trump condemned Spain’s stance on Iran and criticised their failure to meet the 5% NATO defense spending target.
Key developments include:
• Pedro Sánchez warned against repeating historical “miscalculations,” citing the Iraq War.
• Spain maintains a “No to war” stance, citing national values and interests.
• President Trump pledged to “cut off all trade,” signalling a potential economic decoupling.
Sánchez argued that “blind and servile obedience” is not leadership, affirming that Spain will not be complicit in actions it deems harmful to global stability.
