The Iranian army sent a thank-you message to Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez with the missiles used in its attacks on Israel and the region.

The Iranian army sent a salute to Spain, a European country, with the missiles used in its attacks on Israel and the region. Some of the missiles launched in Iran's 75th wave of attacks were seen with photos of Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez pasted on them.
"THANK YOU, PRIME MINISTER" MESSAGE
In the images shared on social media, it was noted that the posters pasted on the missiles contained the phrases "Thank you, Prime Minister" and referenced Sanchez's words describing the war as "inhumane."
"A SIGN OF RESPECT"
Iranian officials described this move as a token of gratitude for Sanchez's "conscientious and brave" stance.
DID NOT GRANT BASE PERMISSION TO THE U.S.
The Pedro Sanchez government had not allowed the U.S. to use military bases in Spain for attacks against Iran. This decision deepened the rift within NATO, while it was met with great sympathy in the Tehran administration.
While defending his decision, Sanchez referred to the 2003 Iraq invasion, stating, "The mistakes of the past should not be repeated."
"THIS WAR IS A GREAT MISTAKE"
Targeted by U.S. President Donald Trump, Sanchez described a potential war against Iran as "an extraordinarily great mistake," emphasizing that allied countries should openly tell each other their mistakes.
