The deputy leader of the Green party has demanded an apology from Keir Starmer after the prime minister appeared to back false claims he protested in support of the Iranian regime, which led to him receiving death threats.

Mothin Ali said he was “so scared” that the racist threats had increased to a point where “it feels like this time it might get me killed”.

Multiple threatening messages sent to Mothin Ali and seen by the Guardian included “we know where to find you”, “you have no idea what’s coming” and one that told him to “pack your bags before it’s too late”.

The messages were sent after Ali, a Green party local councillor, attended an anti-war demonstration in Parliament Square on Saturday that was mischaracterised by organisations such as GB News as a rally in support of the Iranian regime.

Valérie Butters, an artist in Knowlton, Que., is one of many Canadians who took to social media to reach out to users in Spain after seeing the clip.

"Glad to have you in our club," she wrote on Threads, saying Canada has been on Trump's "s--t list" for over a year now. "Let us know if you need maple syrup."

Dee Lysak in Sioux Narrows, Ont., also reached out with a series of posts on Threads following Trump's comments.

"Spain — you are welcome here. We see you. We hear you. We applaud your government," she wrote.

Since then, she's heard from people in Spain who offered recommendations of places to stay and told her she would be welcome there, too.

Multiple times during Donald Trump’s second presidency, Congress has debated his military authority, first in Latin America and now the Middle East. The latest test will come in the GOP-controlled House on Thursday after the Senate voted down a Democratic measure to limit Trump, at least theoretically, in the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran.

Like many predecessors, Trump claims broad, even unlimited power over U.S. forces. He approved boat strikes near Venezuela, established a naval blockade and authorized a military operation to arrest and depose its leader, Nicolás Maduro — all arguable acts of war under international law. He made noise about additional action in Greenland and Latin America, before launching a sweeping bombing campaign in Iran.

Under the Constitution, the military reports to the president. But the document grants oversight roles to Congress. Trump says he won’t sign anything limiting his options — proof for some experts that control over a civilian-led military has skewed from its original design.

“Iran, unlike the United States, has prepared itself for a long war,” Larijani stated in a post on the social media platform X on Monday.

Echoing historical precedents, Larijani added, “As in the past 300 years, Iran did not start this war, our brave armed forces have not engaged in a single offensive operation, acting solely in self-defense.”

The Security Council chief pledged that Iran would “fiercely defend itself and its six-thousand-year-old civilization regardless of the costs,” promising that the enemies would “regret their miscalculation.”

The Wisdom Behind Martyr Ali Khamenei’s Refusal of Nuclear Weapons

The remarks follow a fresh round of aerial aggression launched by the US and Israel on Saturday, marking a new escalation just eight months after previous unprovoked attacks on the Islamic Republic.

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei was assassinated in the first salvo of the terrorist attacks, even as Tehran was engaged in diplomatic talks with Washington over its nuclear program.

Iran swiftly initiated retaliation, launching coordinated barrages of missiles and drones targeting Israeli-occupied territories and US military bases across the region.

zerbaijan's foreign ministry lodged an official protest with the Iranian embassy on Thursday after a pair ‌of Iranian drones flew across the border into Azerbaijan and injured two people at an airport in the Nakhchivan exclave.

"This attack on the territory of Azerbaijan contradicts the norms and principles of international law and contributes to increased ⁠tensions in the region," the foreign ministry said in a statement.

"We demand that the Islamic Republic of Iran clarify the matter in the shortest possible time, provide an explanation and take the necessary urgent measures to prevent such incidents from recurring in the future."

US President Donald Trump recently floated a possible cut to trade relations with Spain over its refusal to support illegal US-Israel attacks on Iran. “We don’t want anything to do with Spain,” Trump said, as German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, head of another EU government, sat meekly in the next chair.

While supposed allies failed to stand up to President Trump’s lambasting, Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez addressed the comments himself, emphasizing Spain would not be intimidated into endorsing warmongering narratives or breaking international law. “The Spanish government’s position on this situation is clear and consistent,” Sánchez said, referencing stances on the genocide in Gaza and war in Ukraine. “It can be summed up in three words: no to war.”

The coalition government in Spain, headed by Sánchez’s Socialist Workers’ Party (PSOE), has positioned itself differently from other European countries regarding ongoing crises in the world. Since October 2023, like Slovenia and Ireland, Spain spoke out against Israel’s attacks on Gaza and took steps to limit arms transfers to the occupation power. Local solidarity movements warn these steps were often too slow and limited, yet Spain’s stance in regional discussions provided much-needed resistance to the EU’s unlimited support for Israel.

Speaking on Wednesday, March 4, the Spanish prime minister called on the international community not to “repeat past mistakes” and blindly believe attacks on Iran would result in greater wellbeing. Sánchez stated that while he cannot predict the final outcome of the current situation, “what we do know is that it will not result in a more just international order, nor will it lead to higher wages, better public services, or a healthier environment.”

This response to Trump’s threats also reflected on the impacts of wars on national governments’ core responsibility – securing decent living conditions for the population. “It is absolutely unacceptable that leaders who are incapable of fulfilling this task use the smokescreen of war to hide their failure and, by doing so, line the pockets of a select few, the same ones as always,” Sánchez said. “The only ones who win when the world stops building hospitals to build missiles.”

Sánchez’s positioning represents a significant departure from other European high-ranking politicians, whose strategy toward the second Trump administration boils down to cajoling the US president and hoping for the best. In the process, most have also enthusiastically ramped up advocacy for more armament and war.

In many aspects, the Spanish government has tried to distance itself from this trend, now insisting it would fulfill its duties toward the people – ensuring evacuations from West Asia for those who request them, supporting the local economy during the crisis, and protecting international law – despite some voices calling them naive.

“What is naive is to think that violence is the solution,” Sánchez countered. “It is naive to believe that democracies or respect between nations spring from ruins, or to think that blind and servile followership is a form of leadership.”

“We will not be complicit in something that is bad for the world and contrary to our values simply out of fear of reprisals from some,” he added. In protecting international law and advocating for peace, Sánchez concluded, they will not be alone, as millions of people across Europe, North America, West Asia and the rest of the world “do not want a future with more war or more uncertainty, but more peace and prosperity.”

“We are aware of the difficulties, but we are also certain that the future has not yet been determined, and that the spiral of violence that many take for granted is absolutely avoidable,” he said.
