Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez stated that silence in the face of an unjust war amounts to an act of cowardice and support for crimes. He made the remarks in reaction to recent US and Israeli attacks, particularly on Iran, in the Middle East.

Sánchez spoke during the approval of Spain's maritime plan addressing ongoing wars. He emphasized that every bomb dropped in the Middle East harms Europe's economy.

Following the attacks on Iran, many countries that the United States had relied on condemned Washington's actions. Britain and some other powerful countries rejected a proposal under which allies would unite to keep the Strait of Hormuz open.
