Radical decision from Madrid. Spain is closing its airspace to American planes participating in the war in Iran.

The Spanish government has decided to close its airspace to American military planes involved in the attacks on Iran, a measure that goes beyond the previous refusal to allow the use of common military bases.

This decision forces planes to bypass Spain, a NATO member state, on their way to the Middle East, but it does not apply in emergency situations.

The Minister of Economy, Carlos Cuerpo, emphasized that this decision reflects Spain's position of not participating in a war considered unilateral and illegal.

Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, a vocal critic of American attacks, has banned the use of the air bases at Rota and Morón for American planes.

Relations between Madrid and Washington, which have traditionally been stable, are now under pressure, and Trump has threatened with trade sanctions and suggested excluding Spain from NATO. This situation highlights the tensions between Sanchez's progressive politics and the conservative agenda of the Trump administration.
