Spain canceled a €285M direct deal with Israel’s Rafael for Spike LR2 anti-tank missiles in 2025 due to a political ban on Israeli arms imports.

Months later, Spain moved to buy essentially the same Spike system through EuroSpike, a German-based joint venture (40% Rheinmetall, 40% Diehl, 20% Rafael).

Spain avoided a direct Israeli contract — but is still acquiring Israeli-developed technology indirectly via a European intermediary.

Iran's Khamenei:

If there is any threat, threat-neutralizing systems are also available by divine grace.

People should continue their work, their lives, their studies, and conduct their business and commercial activities without worry.

An atmosphere of peace, self-confidence, and serenity must prevail in the country.

Iran's Khamenei:

I would like to tell the dear government officials, the respected officials, that no matter how much effort they put into their work, they must double it. They must multiply it.

We have many resources. The existence of this inflation in the country is illogical. The fall in the value of the national currency to this extent is illogical. This must be corrected.

And God willing, it will be corrected. The respected officials have started some work. They must continue this work with seriousness, with accuracy, and with consideration of all aspects.

Iran's Khamenei:

On the day when the Islamic Republic was a thin sapling, you were unable to uproot it from the ground and tear it away.

Today, praise be to God, the Islamic Republic is a tall, fruitful, and blessed tree.

Tehran floated:

— A 3-year pause on uranium enrichment
— Sending some enriched uranium abroad (possibly to Russia)
— Future U.S.–Iran business deals if sanctions are lifted

The U.S. wants a complete halt to enrichment (plus missile limits).
