Its blatant propaganda to get people to lose sympathy towards Spain as it is going against US interests. And as I'm scrolling down the comments, I can see it works. So many people are "shocked" and "upset" that spain would do this. Or claiming it's being done for that sweet Iranian oil or at least for passage through the straight.
No, Spain is just going back to the pre-war situation as every other country will sooner or later. But the other countries haven't been as much of a pain like Spain was so they aren't getting an article about it.

You’re not wrong about the killing children with impunity. Spain is part of the EU and Israel has a population smaller than North Carolina. Attacking a Spanish embassy would have repercussions both immediate and long term. Israel’s long term geopolitical security depends on Israel remaining an ally of the western world. America has shown its political can change drastically election to election and it is no longer a safe bet as a long term partner. That leaves the EU and a handful of countries like Canada and Australia. It would be shortsighted to attack a Spanish embassy.
The US on the other hand would be able to do it without a second thought and further their speedrun into being a geopolitical leper colony without allies

At the risk of sounding like a d***, it may shock you to learn that Spain already has embassies “all throughout the world”.
I don’t think it’s fair to say that Spain is “protecting Iran”. Spain has an embassy in Iran. Bombing it would be extremely illegal. Spain’s embassy predates this war by more than 100 years. Keeping your embassy open isn’t exactly a wild thing to do. Targeting that embassy on the other hand would be insane

And even before this big one, they would constantly kill and imprison political opponents and protesters. It was a constant human rights abuses.
Outside of political prisoners, they would also execute KIDS, literally only country that still has capital punishment for kids and it would be for shit like "crime against religion".
So their kill rate was always high. When they came to power they killed like something like 5-20k depending on who you ask. And not the kind of "we killed militia" type of thing, but legit just teens with no weapons whom they deemed not to be commited to Islamic Republic enough.

There is no clear, agreed-upon estimate for the death toll from the 2026 Iran massacres during the protests. Official Iranian government figures stand at 3,117 deaths (including about 200 security forces), but independent sources and human rights groups report much higher numbers, with verified counts around 7,000 and estimates up to 36,500.

Reopening an embassy means taking infrastructure already there - and opening the doors that were temporarily shut for safety reasons. Embassies are sites for diplomacy, as well as resources for protecting and repatriating expats.
Y’all ignorant folks go listen to Sanchez’s speeches. He’s giving constant rallies, interviews, and press conferences railing against the illegality of Trump’s war and Israel’s strikes on Lebanon. It’s not a cynical economical decision. Our PM is a committed anti fascist and Europe’s most vocal critic of Trump, Musk, the Gaza genocide, misogyny, fascism.
His whole slogan for his stance on the US Iran war is that the US is asking for accolades and praise for throwing a bucket of water on the raging inferno it started.

The fascist party, vox, and it's CEO, Santiago Abascal, have been funded by Magyar Bankholding, whose biggest shareholder is Hungary's governement, therefore controlled by Orbán, wich is the same as saying controlled by Putin.
And unlike Abascal's statement, these [are proven facts.](https://www.ondacero.es/noticias/espana/que-sabe-magyar-bankholding-mbh-banco-hungria-que-prestado-9-millones-vox_2024093066fae64efcf7b30001482fe0.html)

By doing this, Spain is saying it condones mass murder, r***, torture, kidnappings and Islamic extremism. Spain is showing the world what its values are.

Spain Is an independent country with a history of neutrality in middle eastern affairs. This isn’t the biggest surprise. Honestly it just feels like unnecessary judgement towards Spain if anything

Seeing so many people that do not live or come from Spain becoming hysterical about another country reopening an embassy, tells me it's the right thing to do and the one doing spanish interests the most.
It's like seeing ex coworkers becoming envious and bitter because you are changing workplace and will be paid more than them.

Every EU country should follow. The days that American empire control is for their interests are over. We should take our own path .
USA had degraded over the years from world policeman with our support to plain pirates stealing other countries wealth. We cannot longer support this that they become.

Say it with pride that you support Iran and its citizen murdering regime. What’s 30,000 dead Iranians who were just yearning for a voice when you can stick it to America on Listnook?

Given Trump has killed hundreds of thousands via his ending of USAID, having an embassy in Iran is no less ethical than having one in the US. Either both should stay open, or both should close.

Europe is rich too, they could step in but they didn't. This is the mindset that is pissing Americans off - that the United States needs to be responsible for everyone all the time.

Some people don’t have principles. They treat politics like a team sport and their morality is based on “which side” and not actions. Complexity has no place, just a simple black and white, us vs them, good guy vs bad guy narrative — an easy, polarized binary applied to every situation. So easy you don’t even have to learn anything.
And some(many) of those comments are fresh astroturf attempting to amplify that type of thinking and make people easily influenced and controlled.

US regime is the worst thing in the world right now . Killing thousands and not even everyday american profits. Just big Corps. Controled by mad dog Netanyahu.

Israel and the US together have murdered far far more civilians in Gaza alone, nevermind every other violent adventure they have waged the past 80 years.

Why 30.000 and not 45.000 as others say ? Or 60.000 ?
Anyway, what you think will happen to your country when you enter existential war ? They are gonna let you vote or debate about things ? No. It will be on marital law.
And all I see is Iranians protest for their country every day, and willing to die to protect their infrastructure as they showed us 2 days ago.
I do not need to agree with them. I do not. I do respect their fight for their freedom as they see it.

Well, then you should have read the actual article instead of the comments. Spain is absolutely not giving express citizenship to anyone, they are giving a 1 year work permit. From that work permit to potential citizenship it takes 10 years of flawless behaviour.

Anti-Trumpism makes sense but supporting an oppressive authoritarian state that just killed thousands of unarmed citizens makes no sense.

Americans aren't fully aware of what is going to happen to their future and livelihood. Or they are aware and would rather ignore it. No bad deed goes unpunished.
