The U.S. attacks on Iran have sparked debate in Europe. Following Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez's opposition to Trump by saying "No to war," British Prime Minister Keir Starmer also stated that the bombing has "plunged the Middle East into chaos."

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez responded to U.S. President Donald Trump, who criticized him for not allowing the use of two military bases in Spain for attacks on Iran, with "No to war." There is another leader in Europe who has turned his back on Trump.

THE FIRST OBJECTION CAME FROM SPAIN

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez sent a clear message to U.S. President Donald Trump, who criticized him for not allowing the U.S. to use two military bases in Spain for attacks on Iran. Defending his country's anti-war stance, Sanchez stated, "No to war."

Sanchez emphasized that Spain's approach to international crises is clear, saying, "Spain's position is clear. It is the same as in Ukraine and Gaza. No to violations of international law. The world's problems cannot be solved just by dropping bombs. Past mistakes should not be repeated. The summary of our position is, no to war."

Commenting on developments in the Middle East, Sanchez stated that the world has become uncertain following the attacks by the U.S. and Israel on Iran. He argued that even the parties carrying out the attacks do not have a clear target, drawing attention to the risk of a broader conflict in the region.

Sanchez noted that a potential new war could last a long time and may not be limited to the region, stating, "There is a risk of entering a war that could spread to the region and other countries, leading to global economic consequences."

CRITICISMS OF TRUMP ARE INCREASING IN EUROPE

Criticism of U.S. President Donald Trump's Iran policy is also increasing in Europe. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer stated that Trump's bombing of Iran has "plunged the Middle East into chaos."

Starmer emphasized Britain's ethical and diplomatic stance by saying, "Whatever the pressure, we will remain committed to our values and principles." It was noted that while Britain initially did not allow the use of its military bases, it later provided limited support, but criticisms continued.
