Spain closes off its airspace to US planes involved in the Iran war

Spain has closed its airspace to U.S. planes involved in the Iran war after earlier saying the U.S. couldn't use jointly operated military bases there for operations related to the conflict.

Spain has closed its airspace to U.S. planes involved in the Iran war, Defense Minister Margarita Robles said Monday, marking another step in the country’s opposition to the U.S. and Israel’s conflict in the Middle East.

Spain had already said the U.S. could not use jointly operated military bases in the Iran conflict, which Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has described as illegal, reckless and unjust.

Defense Minister Robles said Monday the same logic applied to the use of Spanish airspace in the conflict.

    Good but don’t get fooled by politicians, USA and israel bombed a school on day 1, they waited till now to close airspace. The government is probably just trying to save their ass as most people in europe are pissed with the conflict.

      You are getting downvoted, but you are not all that wrong.

      Sanchez is a pure politician, a party rat, devoid of any true conviction. The Spanish people are against the war, and generally pro Palestine, and he’s just milking that for support.
