"We don't authorise either the use of military bases or the use of airspace for actions related to the war in Iran, the minister, Margarita Robles, told reporters. I think everyone knows Spain's position. It's very clear, she added, calling the war profoundly illegal and profoundly unjust."
"You can't respond to one illegality with another because that's how humanity's great disasters begin, Sanchez has called on the US, Israel and Iran to stop the war."
"This decision is part of the decision already made by the Spanish government not to participate in or contribute to a war which was initiated unilaterally and against international law."
"We have denied the US the use of the bases at Rota and Moron [de la Frontera] in this illegal war. All flight plans related to the war in Iran have been rejected, including refuelling flights."
Spain has taken a strong stance against the US-Israel war on Iran by closing its airspace to US military aircraft. The Spanish government has denied the use of military bases for operations related to the conflict, labeling the war as profoundly illegal and unjust. This decision forces military planes to reroute, impacting operations in the Middle East. Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has called for an end to the war, emphasizing that responding to one illegality with another leads to greater disasters. The move has strained relations with the US.
