The raging power centre in Tehran has used Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez’s anti-war remarks by attaching his words, written in both English and Persian, to a missile aimed at Israel, local media reported, as Iran continues its violent struggle with Israeli-American forces.Images circulating on Iranian media show this striking wartime messaging, highlighting how Madrid’s vocal opposition to the conflict has resonated far beyond Europe.The stickers, written in English and Farsi, carry a quote attributed to Sanchez: “Of course, this war is not only illegal, but also inhuman. Thank you, Prime Minister.”According to Iran’s semi-official Mehr News Agency, the adhesive labels were placed directly onto missiles launched from Iranian territory toward Israel.Inscribing messages on munitions is not new in this conflict. Earlier this month, Iranian state television broadcast images of soldiers writing messages on missiles, declaring they would continue strikes “until the last American soldier leaves the Middle East,” according to Turkey Today.The use of Sanchez’s words on Iranian weaponry highlights the unusual position the Spanish prime minister has taken since the US-Israeli military operation against Iran began on February 28. One of the few left-wing European leaders to condemn the strikes as “unjustifiable” and “dangerous,” Sanchez declared in a televised nationwide address that Spain’s position was “no to the war.”
