“BREAKING NEWS: Iran considers Spain a country committed to international law, so it shows receptiveness to any request coming from Madrid.#StraitofHormuz,” the Iranian embassy said in a post on X.


Totally agree with Sanchez here. Not for appeasement reasons but nobody needed this war nor the oil price fallout. There was no reason for it and no basis in any kind of international law.
It’s pretty insane that not more countries are pushing back on this.
Iran kind of fucked up attacking British bases in retaliation, didn’t they? It seemed like UK would’ve sat back more were it’s forces not targeted. Puts a PM in a difficult spot in defending their people.
Didn’t US use British base to launch their attack? For that end, i guess they deserve to get bombed. Starmer is a pushover when it come to their ties with the US, its their own fault to allow that.
Edit: iran bomb UK allies, so UK allow airbase to be used to bomb iran. Starmer is still a pushover in that end.
I thought the order of events was, Britain said no to the US, Iran struck shared US UK base, Britain said go on then to the US as there’s now the excuse what it’s defensive.
You’re correct, there’s so much came after the first strike i keep having everything mixed up. The respond came after the strike on US/UK base 4000km away from iran, where they claim they’re incapable of shooting that far. But it also came after UK insist that they won’t be dragged into this war, yet they allow the use of their base to strike iran site used for the blockage. I don’t support Iran, i think the government can go eat shit, but UK respond is basically involving themselves with the war, because surely Iran will then attack that base used by US as retaliation.
Afaik there was a drone launched “in the direction of” Cyprus that never actually hit the island or the UK base. That was the UK’s excuse to help the US, and it was a whole nothingburger.
Iran claim they didn’t target the UK and it was a false flag most likely by Israel.
Yeah it looks like the Cyprus attack was denied by Iran, and even the UK confirms the attack did not originate from Iran but likely Lebanon; what group there (be it Israeli false-flag or Hezbollah) seems unknown at the moment.
