Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez stated that the war in Iran has cost Europe over €100 billion (approximately $112 billion), with ordinary citizens bearing the economic burden. He posted on X with an accompanying video statement, saying: "Those who oppose the war are right, and we know that ordinary citizens will ultimately pay for it." Sánchez said at a press conference following the European Council summit in Brussels that opponents of the war have been proven right not only in terms of international law and human rights, but also regarding the economic and social consequences citizens are experiencing. He added that the Spanish Parliament has approved an aid package worth over €12 billion (approximately $13.4 billion) to protect affected industries and motorists. Sánchez emphasized that the current priority is to resolve this disaster as quickly as possible.
