Spain’s Prime Minister, Pedro Sanchez, has told the US and Israel that Iran’s new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, is equally dictatorial and even more bloodthirsty than his predecessor and father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
He said this while also accusing Benjamin Netanyahu of attempting to “inflict the same level of damage and destruction” on Lebanon as Israeli forces have done in Gaza.
Tens of thousands of Palestinians lost their lives in Israeli assaults during the two-year conflict in Gaza, resulting in millions being displaced and significant destruction of the area, which has led to allegations of genocide that Israel has refuted.
In a speech to the Spanish parliament earlier today, Sanchez remarked that Israel’s intensified military operations against Hezbollah in neighboring Lebanon are following a similar trajectory.
“This is not the same situation as the unlawful war in Iraq. We are confronting something far worse. Much worse. With a potential impact that is significantly broader and deeper,” stated Sanchez.
Sanchez has consistently been one of the most outspoken critics of Israel’s actions in Gaza and the US-Israeli war against Iran.
He further noted that Iran’s new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, is “equally dictatorial and even more bloodthirsty” than his predecessor and father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed in US-Israeli strikes at the onset of the current conflict.
The US-Israeli war on Iran “is an absolute disaster,” Sanchez declared.
He added “And all for what? To undermine international law, destabilize the Middle East, reignite conflicts in Iraq and Lebanon, and bury Gaza under the rubble of oblivion and indifference.”
The US and Israeli war on Iran is now in its fourth week and has resulted to untold hardship globally as a result of the rising price of oil.
