Spain’s Prime Minister Says War ‘Against Iran’ Has Cost Europeans Over €100 Billion

Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said the war against Iran has so far cost Europeans more than €100 billion and that the economic burden falls on ordinary people, according to 8Sobh.

Pedro Sánchez said the war against Iran has so far cost Europeans more than €100 billion and that ordinary people are bearing the economic burden. In a video post on X, he wrote: “Those of us (Europeans) who raised our voices against the war were right to say ‘no’ to the war.” He added, “We knew that ultimately ordinary people would pay the price for this episode.”

Sánchez told reporters on Friday after a European Council meeting in Brussels that opponents of the war have been vindicated “not only from the perspective of international law and respect for human rights, but because of the economic and social consequences that our citizens are again experiencing.” He said, “In the end, it is ordinary people who pay for it and, unfortunately, its effects are already being felt.” (Sources: 8Sobh; BBC Telegram)
