"Spain has pledged to keep opposing the war waged by the United States and Israel on Iran after President Donald Trump said Washington would cut off all commercial links with Madrid. Trump's rebuke on Tuesday came after Washington's European ally refused to let the US military use its bases for missions linked to strikes on Iran."
"Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, one of the few left-wing leaders in Europe to condemn the US-Israel attack on Iran as unjustifiable and dangerous, said in a televised nationwide address on Wednesday that Spain's position was no to the war. This is how humanity's great disasters start—The world cannot solve its problems with conflicts and bombs."
"A series of opinion polls suggests that more than half of Spaniards oppose Trump's foreign policy. According to a poll published by Eurobazuka in February, 53 percent said they opposed the US president's policies, the third highest group by nationality after the French and Belgians, with 57 percent and 62 percent, respectively."
Spain has pledged to oppose the US-Israel military campaign against Iran, refusing to allow American military bases on Spanish territory for Iran-related missions. President Trump responded by threatening to cut all trade with Spain, calling the country terrible. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez delivered a televised address reaffirming Spain's opposition to war, stating that humanity's great disasters begin through conflict and bombs. Spain maintains its position as a European outlier, having consistently condemned Israel's actions in Gaza. Spanish public opinion supports this stance, with over half of Spaniards opposing Trump's foreign policy according to recent polls, placing Spain third among European nations in opposition levels.
