Iran is allowing Spanish-flagged vessels through the vital Strait of Hormuz in the Gulf for free and with few problems as a "thank you" to the Spanish Prime Minister, Pedro Sanchez, who has been critical of both the United States and Israel over the war.

"Iran allows the Kingdom of Spain to use the Strait of Hormuz with complete freedom without restrictions or barriers that impede the maritime navigation of Spanish ships and tankers," said an Iranian source quoted online. Iran has effectively closed the vital Strait to shipping from the United States, Israel and another nations who are seen supporting the attacks on Iran.

Further reports online have suggested that Iran placed an anti-war message from Sanchez on missiles which were being fired at Israel. The message from Sanchez states: "ofcourse this war is not only illegal it is inhumane." It ends with a thank you from Iran.

"This is ​how humanity's great disasters start ... You cannot play Russian roulette with the destiny of millions," Sanchez said of the Iran war, highlighting the negative knock-on effects of the Iraq war, from a ‌rise in ⁠jihadist terrorism to soaring energy prices, to argue that the consequences of the attack on Iran were just as nebulous.

His stance has won him few supporters in Washington with President Trump claiming that Spain was a "loser" and he would take action against them.

Yes Mexico, not Spain or Iran.
