Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez powerfully condemned the U.S.-Israeli military run against Iran, despite the US president Donald Trump's threat of breaking all trade with Madrid for denying Washington access to its bases.

In a Wednesday tv speech, Sanchez expressed the Spanish position in 4 words: "Not for war".

He warned that “This is how the large disasters of mankind begin” adding that "you can't play Russian roulette with the destiny of millions".

Sanchez straight referred to the threat the US poses to his country.

“We will not be complicit in anything that is bad for the world, but in fear of someone’s repression” Said Sanchez.

"It is absolutely unacceptable that leaders who are incapable to improve people's lives usage the fog of war to cover up their failures and fill pockets of the few, the average ones" Said Sanchez, seemingly referring to Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanjah.

The Spanish leader besides criticized EU allies who refused to argue Washington, stating that "It is naive to think that serving and blind following others is simply a way to lead.”

These comments were seemingly addressed to German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, whom he called "terrible" Ally for standing silently next to Trump in the White home on Tuesday erstwhile the president of the United States threatened to break up ‘all trade’ Spain.

Instead of defending an EU member, Merz agreed with Trump's criticism of defence spending in Madrid and reiterated NATO's typical arguments by criticising Spain for refusing to commit to the military bloc's goal of devoting 5% of GDP to yearly defence spending.

Last year Sanchez rejected the 5% declaration as "Unreasonable’.

Spanish abroad Minister Jose Manuel Albares expressed "Surprise" Madrid Merz's conduct, stating that he expects a certain level ‘solidarity’ and ‘unimaginable’, to be Chancellors of Germany, Angela Merkel or Olaf Scholz, they submitted ‘such statements’, adding that "Then there was another pro-European spirit."
