Following the airstrikes carried out by the U.S. and Israel against Iran over the weekend, Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez's government declared that the U.S. has never been and will not be permitted to use Spanish military bases—such as those in Rota and Morón—to support such offensive operations.
🔹 Reuters, citing official sources, reported that U.S. aircraft departed these bases after Madrid reached its decision, emphasizing that the use of any facility must "comply with the United Nations Charter and valid bilateral agreements."
🔹 The Spanish leader criticized the attacks as unilateral actions that "contribute to increasing global instability" and called for a de-escalation of tensions and respect for international law.
This development has triggered diplomatic tension as the conflict in the Middle East escalates, potentially complicating relations between Madrid and Washington in the coming days.
