In his televised address from the prime minister's residence at La Moncloa, Sánchez said the government was studying economic measures to counter the impact of the conflict on Spaniards.

He asserted that one "illegality" could not be met with another, speaking of the "disaster" of the war in the Middle East, two days after he had appealed for both sides to pull back from conflict and respect international law.

Spain's Socialist prime minister explained that the government's position was comparable to its stance on Ukraine and Gaza. Sánchez has been a vociferous critic of Israel's military response to the Hamas attacks in 2023.

Looking back to the invasion of Iraq in 2003, which he said had failed to achieve its goals and had made life worse for ordinary people, he warned that the attacks on Iran could have similar economic impact for millions.

"It's unacceptable that some presidents use the fog of war to cover up their failures," said Sánchez.

He added: "The question is not if we are on the side of the ayatollahs - nobody is. The question is whether we are in favour of peace and international legality."
