Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez reiterated Wednesday his opposition to the U.S. and Israeli attack on Iran, warning that the conflict was like playing “Russian roulette” with the lives of millions.
Sanchez was responding after U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to cut trade with Madrid over its position on the conflict.
"This is how humanity's great disasters start ... You cannot play Russian roulette with destiny of millions," Sanchez said in a televised address to the nation.
Tensions between the two NATO allies increased after Sanchez denounced the U.S. and Israeli bombings of Iran as reckless and illegal and later banned U.S. aircraft from using naval and air bases in southern Spain for the offensive against Tehran.
Sanchez said the world could not solve its problems with conflicts and bombs.
