Spain’s PM Sanchez said he has spoken with the leaders of Oman and Qatar “to convey to them all of Spain’s solidarity and support in the face of the unjustifiable attacks that their countries have suffered”.

Spain has pledged to keep opposing the war waged by the US and Israel on Iran after President Trump said Washington would cut off all commercial links with Madrid. Trump’s rebuke on Tuesday came after Washington’s European ally refused to let the US military use its bases for missions linked to strikes on Iran.
