Spain defies Trump, airspace shut to US military flights

2026-03-30 10:56 PM IST

Spain has taken a bold stand against US military operations linked to the Iran war, closing its airspace to American aircraft and denying access to key bases at Rota and Moron. The decision forces US warplanes to reroute toward the Middle East, complicating logistics. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has strongly opposed the US Israel strikes on Iran, calling for de-escalation and refusing to support operations that could widen the conflict. Madrid says the move is aimed at preventing further escalation.
