Iran says receptive to any request from Spain, alluding to Hormuz transit

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.
