“U.S. relations with NATO ally Spain appear to have hit a modern low. On the very first day of the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez condemned the countries’ actions as violations of international law and denied Washington the use of airfields in Spain for the purposes of conducting attacks. Spain eventually closed its entire airspace to U.S. aircraft involved in the conflict. … Spain’s bold and consistent stance is much more in line with international law. Not only that — by opposing the war with Iran, Madrid is also doing a better job looking out for U.S. interests than the U.S. government.” (04/10/26)
