All the emergency telephone numbers are operational so that the Spaniards can have information. That is where we are updating the information,” he said, highlighting that “There are no Spaniards injured.”
“The circumstances are very diverse, we have an extraordinary council at 5 in the afternoon. The action of the United States and Israel has no legal coverage and what may happen is unpredictable. We do not accompany this action. Violence never brings peace, only chaos,” the minister continued.
“We continue to condemn Iranian violence and the violation of human rights, we demand all rights for Iranians, especially women, but “The path of war cannot be the basis for building peace,” Albares said in the face of a particularly delicate democratic conflict. For the moment, Spain will defend a return to a framework of diplomacy and negotiation without violence.
