Spain refuses US access to bases for Iran attack, Trump threatens relations
Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has rejected US President Donald Trump's demand to use Spanish military bases for potential operations against Iran, stating "No to the war" in a clear stance against involvement in the conflict. Trump declared he would sever all relations with Spain, a NATO ally, after the country denied access to two southern bases. Sanchez emphasized Spain's position: "We are not going to be complicit in something bad for the world nor contrary to our values and interests simply to avoid reprisals from someone." This diplomatic standoff highlights Spain's commitment to its principles despite US pressure.
