"All flight plans involving operations in Iran have been rejected, including those for refueling aircraft, as stated by Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez in Congress."
"The Spanish ban has a single exception: in emergency situations, the aircraft in question will be authorized to transit or land, but not for military operations."
"Support has been provided for the navigation of B-2 Spirit bombers that strike Iran, but these bombers do not enter Spanish airspace, crossing the Strait of Gibraltar instead."
Spain has prohibited the use of its airspace and military bases for U.S. and Israeli operations against Iran, rejecting all flight plans related to the conflict.

Despite this ban, U.S. Air Force operations under existing agreements continue, including logistical support for troops in Europe. Spain's position has evolved to a more technical stance, emphasizing its commitment to avoiding involvement in the conflict while managing air traffic for bombers transiting the region.
