MADRID, March 26 (Reuters) - The Iranian embassy in Spain said on Thursday on X that Spain respects international law and therefore Iran would be receptive to any request from Madrid related to the Strait of Hormuz.
“BREAKING NEWS: Iran considers Spain a country committed to international law, so it shows receptiveness to any request coming from Madrid.#StraitofHormuz,” the post on X read.
The post follows a note seen by Reuters on Thursday from Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs stating that “non-hostile vessels” could transit the strait if they coordinate with Iranian authorities.
The Embassy of Iran in Spain was not immediately available to provide further details.
Spain’s government was among the first to condemn US-Israeli attacks on Iran, denouncing the war as reckless and illegal.
