‘Illegal, inhumane’: Iran sticks to Spanish PM’s ‘no war’ message over missiles targeting Israel

As Iran continues its violent struggle with Israeli-American forces, Tehran’s angry power center capitalized on Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s anti-war rhetoric by attaching his words in English and Farsi to a missile aimed at Israel, local media reported.Images circulated in Iranian media showing the striking wartime message, underscoring how Madrid’s strong opposition to the conflict is resonating beyond Europe.The stickers, written in English and Farsi, feature a quote from Sanchez: “Of course, this war is not only illegal, it is inhumane. Thank you, Prime Minister.”The stickers were placed directly on missiles launched from Iranian territory towards Israel, Iran’s semi-official Mahr news agency reported.Engraving messages on munitions is nothing new in this conflict. According to “Turkey Today”, earlier this month, Iranian state television broadcast footage of soldiers writing messages on missiles, declaring that they would continue to launch attacks “until the last American soldier leaves the Middle East.”Sanchez’s remarks on the issue of Iranian weapons highlighted the unusual stance taken by the Spanish prime minister since the start of the US-Israeli military operation against Iran on February 28. Sanchez, one of the few European left-wing leaders to condemn the airstrikes as “irrational” and “dangerous,” declared in a nationally televised address that Spain’s position was “against war.”
