US-Israeli strikes against Iran 'extraordinary mistake': Spain

Spanish prime minister Pedro Sánchez has again criticised the US-Israeli strikes against Iran, saying they were an “extraordinary mistake” and “not in accordance with international law”.

Sanchez said “loyal cooperation” should prevail over “confrontation” in relations with the US after tensions over Madrid’s opposition to Washington’s use of its bases against Iran, reports Guardian.

“Between allied countries, it is good to help when the other is right, but also to tell them when they are wrong or make a mistake, as is the case here,” he said during a joint press conference this afternoon with Luís Montenegro, the Portuguese prime minister.

Trump lashed out at Spain on Tuesday, calling the country a “terrible” ally and threatening to sever all trade with Madrid.

The US president further criticised Spain yesterday in an interview with the New York Post, calling it “a loser”.
