Spain Closes Airspace To U.S. Warplanes Over Iran Conflict. Spain has reportedly closed its airspace to U.S. planes involved in strikes on Iran, according to local media. The move expands earlier restrictions that already denied Washington access to jointly operated military bases. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has been among the strongest European critics of the U.S.-Israeli campaign against Iran. Economy Minister Carlos Cuerpo said the decision reflects Madrid’s refusal to support a war it considers unilateral and against international law. The restrictions reportedly do not apply to emergency situations, allowing limited flexibility. The decision could force U.S. military aircraft to reroute around NATO-member Spain to reach the Middle East. President Donald Trump has threatened trade consequences in response to Spain’s stance. The move highlights growing divisions within Western allies over the Iran conflict.
