Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez described the joint US-Israel operation against Iran as an “absolute disaster” during a parliamentary session. He reaffirmed Madrid's opposition to the Middle East conflict, citing thousands of deaths, millions of displaced people, and severe global economic consequences, including rising fuel prices and market losses. Sánchez contrasted the current situation with the 2003 Iraq War, noting that the potential impact is far greater. He also confirmed that Spain has refused to allow the US to use Spanish bases for operations in the conflict, asserting Spain's sovereignty.
