Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez expressed his “utmost concern” following Iran’s attack on Israel, Paralel.Az reports.

“A regional escalation must be avoided at all costs,” Sanchez wrote on X.

Sanchez said his nation is in touch with its embassies in the region “to serve Spaniards in the area.”

Portuguese Prime Minister Luis Montenegro, also on X, said his government “vehemently condemns the attack.”

“We call for restraint, in order to avoid an escalation of the violence,” he wrote.
