Spain Closes Airspace to US Military Flights Over Iran Conflict

Spain has closed its airspace to US military flights involved in the Iran conflict, reinforcing its neutral stance and signalling opposition to what it describes as a unilateral war. The move reflects a combination of non-interventionist foreign policy and adherence to international law, while also impacting allied operations in the region. This decision highlights growing divisions among NATO allies and Spain’s firm position on avoiding escalation.
