Spanish politician slams those using ‘feminism’ as excuse for Iran war

In March 2026, Spanish politician Manuela Bergerot criticized the use of feminist rhetoric to justify potential US and Israeli attacks on Iran. Bergerot accused some of hypocrisy, alleging they support military action while claiming to defend Iranian women's rights. She highlighted the deaths of approximately 160 girls following an attack on a school in Minab, Iran. Bergerot argued that supporting military intervention contradicts the purported concern for the safety and well-being of Iranian women and girls. Her statement was a condemnation of those she believes are selectively using feminism to advance a pro-war agenda.
