Spain has emerged as one of the most vocal critics among Western nations of the US and Israeli acts of aggression on Iran and Lebanon, closing its airspace to any aircraft involved in a conflict Madrid has called reckless and illegal.
"Yesterday we saw how Israel, flouting the ceasefire and in violation of international law, dropped hundreds of bombs on Lebanon," Albares told lawmakers in the lower house.
Earlier on Thursday, Albares announced that Spain would reopen its embassy in Tehran in hopes of achieving peace in the region, Reuters reported.
"I've instructed our ambassador in Tehran to return, to take up his post again and reopen our embassy, and for us to join in this effort for peace from every possible quarter, including from the Iranian capital itself," Albares told reporters.
