Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has firmly rejected calls linked to the escalating Iran conflict, declaring that Spain’s position is clear: “No to war.”

Speaking in a televised address, Sánchez criticised the growing military confrontation involving the United States and Israel against Iran, warning that such actions could endanger millions of lives and destabilise the global order. He argued that conflicts cannot be solved through bombs and violence, urging world leaders to pursue diplomacy instead.

The Spanish leader also refused to allow U.S. forces to use jointly operated military bases in Spain—such as those in Rota and Morón—for operations linked to attacks on Iran. Madrid insisted the facilities cannot be used for actions outside international agreements or without a United Nations mandate.

Sánchez stressed that Spain would not become complicit in actions “harmful to the world” simply out of fear of retaliation, reaffirming the country’s long-standing anti-war stance.

The decision sparked tension with U.S. President Donald Trump, who reportedly threatened economic consequences and even hinted at cutting trade ties with Spain over its refusal to cooperate in the military campaign.

Despite the pressure, the Spanish government maintains that diplomacy, de-escalation, and respect for international law remain the only path to lasting peace.
