No one defies Washington/Tel Aviv: US and Israel staged Spain and Europe’s migration invasion, says Iran. The Ceuta crisis was to serve as punishment for Madrid’s stance on the Middle East conflict, Tehran has argued.

The US and Israel orchestrated the mass migrant crossing from Morocco into Spain’s North African enclave of Ceuta to punish Madrid for its refusal to bow to pressure on the Middle East conflicts, Iran’s embassy in Kenya has suggested.

Spain has been at odds with Washington and West Jerusalem over the Gaza war and its opposition to strikes on Iran.

78,000 invaders

Over the past several days, roughly 78,0000 cheering and whooping migrunts crossed from Morocco into Ceuta by land and sea in numbers equivalent to some 70% of the enclave’s regular population.

The local authorities admitted they had been completely overwhelmed by the unexpected sudden surge.

Largest in European postwar history

The crisis, the largest human traffic invasion in the EU’s history, claimed the lives of at least 86 people, a toll expected to rise further. Many of the victims drowned in the sea or were crushed in the stampede at border checkpoints.

Get Spain

On Friday, the Iranian Embassy in Nairobi described the migrant surge as an operation organized by Washington and Tel Aviv, coordinated with certain neighboring authorities, to destabilize Spain.’

It also branded the crisis ‘a gift to Europe’s conservatives and punishment for the country that dared to challenge the American Empire and its Israeli henchmen’, warning that ‘the empire never tolerates defiance.’

Silence of the shams

Neither the US nor Israel commented on the accusation. However, Israeli Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon slammed Spain’s handling of the crisis. 

’Spain, which never misses an opportunity to lecture Israel, has declared a state of emergency in Ceuta following the crisis over its immigration policy. Maybe before it continues lecturing us, it’s time it explained to the world why it still maintains colonial enclaves in Africa.’

Spain’s Retort

Spanish Transport Minister Oscar Puente responded to the post saying, Well, it all seems to be becoming quite clear.’ 

Alex Jones separately claimed Israel launched an Islamic invasion of Spain, alleging Washington backed the move.

Catalan Republican Left (ERC) parliamentary spokesman Gabriel Rufian also suggested that the migration crisis was serving US and Israeli interests.

The comments come against a backdrop of deep acrimony between Madrid and Israel over the Gaza conflict and the US-Israeli war on Iran.

Free Palestine – Spain

Spain recognized Palestine in May 2024, accused Israel of ’genocide’ in Gaza, and has permanently pulled its ambassador from Israel over its opposition to strikes on Iran while closing its airspace to US aircraft involved in the attack.

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar accused Madrid of standing with tyrants. US President Donald Trump blasted Spain, saying that it has been very bad for NATO.

Iran, meanwhile, has praised Spain for its ’principled’ position on the war.

Spain and Prime Minister Pedro came under fire from several European leaders fearful of the invaders fanning out across the European Union. Let readers know what you think
