Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has firmly defended his government’s opposition to the U.S.-led bombing of Iran, summarizing Madrid’s position with the words “no to war” in a televised address on Wednesday morning, March 3, 2026.
Sánchez’s remarks came in response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s threat to “cut off all ties” with Spain, including trade relations, after Madrid refused to allow the use of its military bases for attacks on Iran. Trump described Spain as “terrible” during a rally on Tuesday, accusing Sánchez of undermining U.S. efforts in the escalating Middle East conflict.

In his address, Sánchez urged against repeating “the errors of the past,” specifically referencing the 2003 invasion of Iraq, which he said failed to achieve its goals, created insecurity, and worsened conditions for millions. He warned that the ongoing strikes on Iran could have a similar devastating economic impact on ordinary people worldwide.
“The government is examining measures to mitigate this potential fallout,” Sánchez added, without providing specifics.
