Spain says it will not support military action against Iran

Spain will not support military action taken by the United States and Israel against Iran and will not authorize the use of Spanish bases for such operations, Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares and Defense Minister Margarita Robles said in separate remarks on Monday.



In an interview with media, Albares called for respecting the international law and warned that the logic of violence only leads to further escalation.



While each country makes its own foreign policy decisions, Europe's voice at this time should be one of balance and moderation, working toward de-escalation and a return to negotiations, he said.



In addition, Albares said the Spanish government will not authorize the use of its bases or their facilities for any action that does not comply with the United Nations Charter and international law.
