#Spain closes airspace to #US planes involved in #IranWar, defense minister says
Spain has closed its airspace to US planes involved in attacks on Iran, a step beyond its previous denial of use of jointly-operated military bases, Defence Minister Margarita Robles said Monday.
"We don't authorize either the use of military bases or the use of airspace for actions related to the #war in #Iran," she told reporters in Madrid.
