'Absolute violation of all international law' - Madrid protest condemns US-Israeli strikes on Iran

"Demonstrators gathered in Madrid on Saturday to condemn what they describe as 'unjustified aggression' following the United States and Israel's joint attack on Iran. Footage shows demonstrators waving Iranian and Palestinian flags, with some holding up signs reading, 'down with imperialism,' 'stand with Iran' and 'stop the war in Iran.' The crowd can also be heard chanting, 'boycott Israel' and 'Israel killing, Europe sponsoring.' "The importance of being here today and almost every day is because of the aggression by Zionism and the United States towards the West Asia region. We have been suffering for more than two years of genocide in Gaza, attacks on Venezuela, Cuba and now Iran," one protester said. She described the United States as a 'bully', urging people to speak up against Washington as she accuses the state of seeking to 'impose its hegemony on the world.' "What we are seeing is the final offensive of a capitalism led by the United States and Zionism that is collapsing and is giving its last gasp through aggression, disruption and absolute violation of all international law," another demonstrator added. "Nothing is respected anymore. They invade countries, kidnap presidents, impose medieval blockades on the island of Cuba. And now, to top it all off, unjustified aggression from Zionism, from the United States," he continued. The United States and Israel launched a joint attack on Iran on Saturday, with US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowing to 'destroy Iran's missiles'. In response, Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps said that 'widespread missile and drone and attacks' against Israel were underway. US bases were also reportedly targeted in UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, Iraq and Kuwait. Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez condemned the US and Israeli strikes, warning that they could heighten regional tensions and "contribute to a more uncertain and hostile international order"."
