It is not the first time that Iran praises Pedro Sánchez for his stance in the war initiated jointly by the United States and Israel. Let’s remember when Iranian propaganda put Sánchez’s face on a ballistic missile to thank Spain for ‘No to war’.
Now the president’s face is nowhere to be found, but that doesn’t mean the praise is any less. This time it was the first vice president of Iran, Mohamed Reza Aref, who publicly thanked Sánchez on his social networks for his “humanitarian stance.” “We applaud all those who have bravely taken a stand against aggression and atrocities, particularly the humanitarian stance of Pedro Sánchez,” said the leader.
They have bravely stood against aggression and atrocities
“Based on the United Nations Charter, Iran does not seek anything beyond its legal rights and the defense of its national security against any State intrusion and terrorism,” he said in reference to the actions of the United States and Israel within the framework of the offensive. “The world must distinguish between the aggressor and the defender.”
A different posture
Something different happens with Israel, which has charged against the Government of Spain and its president on a couple of occasions. The most recent was last Saturday, when the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs disgraced Sánchez for burning a doll of Benjamin Netanyahu in the Malaga town of El Burgo. “This appalling display of anti-Semitic hatred It is a direct consequence of the incitement of the Government of Pedro Sánchez“, the organization said in this regard. “Even now, the Spanish Government remains silent. The Spanish chargé d’affaires has been summoned for a reprimand.”
Not to mention Donald Trump, who has already threatened Spain several times with “cutting off trade” because, in his opinion, “it is not cooperating” in the context of the war. Some statements that were made after the Sánchez Government denied that the United States used the Morón de la Frontera and Rota bases.
