Minor nitpick. But it seems the actual article has been edited and no longer says “four words” for obvious reasons. Could update the summary too.

I’m wondering if the speech was delivered in Spanish, and it’s four words in a given delivery.

Yes it is. In Spanish it is “No a la guerra”. I found it weir that they translated the quote but didn’t just change 4 for 3.
