Spain closes airspace to US military over Iran war, widening rift with US

Spain’s defence minister confirms move and describes US-Israel war on Iran as ‘profoundly illegal and unjust’

^{Stephen Burgen (The Guardian)}

Nice. That’s taking a stand.

#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.

No, its not the Namibian desert. It's the Duna de Bolonia.

"Hundreds of thousands of small, stinging grains of sand travelling at warp factor 4 directly into the face for the next 45 minutes wasn’t what I would call fun. Having said that it was a very cheap, complete and thorough exfoliation of the skin."

If only Carney had the courage to say something like this on behalf of Canadians...

Prime Minister Sanchez of Spain:
“Because the question is not whether or not we are in favour of the Ayatollahs. No one is. Certainly not the Spanish people and of course not the Spanish government. The question, rather, is whether or not, we are on the side of international law and therefore, of peace.”

instead we get waffling and backtracking.

President Donald Trump threatened to impose a ​full U.S. trade embargo on Spain on Tuesday after the European and NATO ally refused to let the U.S. military use its bases for missions linked to ‌strikes on Iran.

Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares said Spain would not allow its military bases, which are jointly operated by the U.S. and Spain but under Spanish sovereignty, to be used for attacks on Iran, which Spain has condemned.

THIS is the definition of sovereignty.

Spain baulks at Trump’s threat to cut off all trade over NATO, Iran stance

The US has relocated 15 aircraft, including refuelling tankers, from military bases in southern Spain.

^{Al Jazeera - By News Agencies}

This idiot governs (using that word very generously) by reactionary insecure whim.

#Trump says #US will cut all #trade with #Spain after it refused to let the US #military use its bases for missions linked to strikes on #Iran.

"Spain has been terrible," Trump told reporters adding that he had told #Treasury Secy Scott Bessent to "cut off all dealings" with Spain.

"We're going to cut off all trade with Spain. We don't want anything to do with Spain," he added.
