Spain’s PM says Iran war represents a ‘far worse’ scenario than Iraq’s ‘illegal war’ in 2003

Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez warned on Wednesday that the Iran war represents a “far worse” scenario than the 2003 invasion of Iraq, Euronews writes.

“This is not the same scenario as the illegal war in Iraq. We are facing something far worse. Much worse. With a potential impact that is far broader and far deeper,” Sánchez told parliament.

“This time, it’s an absurd and illegal war. A cruel one that sets us back from achieving our economic, social and environmental goals.”

Earlier, Spain’s PM had refused Washington’s requests to use Madrid’s military bases to launch strikes against Iran, despite US President Donald Trump’s threat to sever trade with Spain as a result.
