Spain has barred the United States from using its airspace and military bases for operations related to the war in Iran, in a move that could complicate American military logistics in the region.Spains Defence Minister Margarita Robles confirmed the decision, stating: The bases are not authorised, and of course neither is the use of Spanish airspace for actions related to the war in Iran.According to reports, the restriction has forced U.S. aircraft to alter flight paths and operational planning, potentially affecting missions linked to the ongoing conflict. The decision aligns with the stance of Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, who has been among the most vocal Western leaders opposing the war.Spains position has reportedly caused tensions with Donald Trump, with disagreements extending beyond military cooperation to broader issues such as NATO defence spending.Despite the restrictions, exceptions may be made in emergency situations, allowing aircraft to transit or land if necessary. The development highlights growing divisions among Western allies over the conflict, as diplomatic and military strategies continue to diverge.The post Spain shuts airspace for US planes involved in Iran war appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
