Spain Urges Dialogue to Ensure Stability in Middle East


(MENAFN) Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares emphasized the importance of dialogue and negotiation as essential for a “stable and prosperous” Middle East during a conversation with his Jordanian counterpart, Ayman Safadi, on Sunday.

"The Iranian attacks must cease. Spain calls on the parties to exercise restraint and de-escalation. Dialogue and negotiation are the solution for a stable and prosperous region," Albares said on the social media platform X.

He also noted that the discussion covered the “terrible human and economic consequences” of the ongoing war in the Middle East, along with the situations in Gaza, the West Bank, and “brutal violence in Lebanon.”

The conflict escalated on February 28 when the US and Israel launched airstrikes on Iran, reportedly killing more than 1,340 people, including then-Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

In response, Iran has conducted drone and missile attacks targeting Israel, as well as Jordan, Iraq, and Gulf nations hosting US military forces, leading to casualties, infrastructure damage, and disruptions to global markets and aviation, according to reports.
