Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares has reaffirmed his country’s opposition to the US-Israel war against Iran, saying it will not be pulled into the conflict, Al Jazeera reports.

“We will not take part in any action that could mean an escalation. And above all, we think that there is no military solution for this crisis,” he says in an interview with The Financial Times.

Albares adds that the fundamental divide in the world order is between a view grounded in international law on the one hand, and “the law of the jungle” on the other, meaning “chaos, violence and war as a substitute for foreign policy”.
