BBC News

Spain denies US use of military bases in Andalusia for Iran-related operations, closing its airspace to American aircraft involved in the conflict.

The Spanish government has closed its airspace to United States aircraft involved in military operations related to the war with Iran. This move follows Spain's decision to deny the US access to the two jointly run military bases in Andalusia, located in Morรณn and Rota. These bases, which have been pivotal for NATO and US operations in the past, are now restricted from use in activities connected to the Iranian conflict. The measure underscores Spain's cautious stance amid rising regional tensions, aiming to avoid direct involvement in hostilities. This step may impact US logistical and support operations in the area, though no specifics on the duration or exact scope of the ban have been provided.
