Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has openly condemned the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, describing the war as a 'disaster' for humanity. His remarks come after U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to cut trade ties with Madrid over its stance on the conflict.

In a national address, Sanchez warned against playing 'Russian roulette with the destiny of millions.' His statements reflect a deteriorating relationship between two NATO allies as Sanchez criticizes what he sees as reckless and illegal bombings by the U.S. and Israel against Iran.

In a significant move, Spain has banned U.S. military aircraft from using naval and air bases in its southern region for operations targeting Tehran, further escalating tensions between the nations.
