Iran praises Sánchez’s “humanitarian stance” in the face of “the aggression and atrocities” of the US and Israel

The Iranian authorities have praised this Monday “the humanitarian stance” of the President of Spain, Pedro Sánchez, in the face of “the aggression and atrocities” of the United States and Israel within the framework of the offensive launched by surprise on February 28 against the Asian country, where more than 3,000 deaths have been recorded, according to the latest balance sheet.

“We applaud all those who have bravely taken a stand against aggression and atrocities, particularly the humanitarian stance of Pedro Sánchez,” said the first vice president of Iran, Mohamed Reza Aref, through a message published on social networks, where he cited the account of the head of the Spanish Government.

Thus, he stressed that “the world must distinguish between the aggressor and the defender.” “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,” in reference to the actions of the United States and Israel within the framework of the offensive.

Sánchez and other members of the Spanish Government have been critical of the offensive against Iran, unleashed in the midst of negotiations between Washington and Tehran to try to reach a new nuclear agreement, which has caused diplomatic tensions with the United States and Israel, which have charged Madrid for its statements and actions, including preventing US forces from using their bases in Spanish territory.
