Spain Closes Airspace To US Planes Involved In Iran Attacks
Madrid maintains that the US-Israeli war on Iran is ‘illegal’ and refuses to support offensive operations
Spain has barred US-linked warplanes involved in strikes on Iran from using its airspace and bases for combat operations, while allowing logistical support under existing agreements, El Pais reported on 30 March, citing government officials.
“We have denied the United States the use of the Rota and Moron bases for this illegal war. All flight plans involving operations in Iran have been rejected. All of them, including those for refueling aircraft,” Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said in a statement to Congress.
He confirmed that Spain has denied permission for bombers and tanker aircraft linked to Operation Epic Fury to enter or pass through its airspace, effectively blocking them from using Spanish skies to strike Iran.
Military sources added that the restriction also applies to US aircraft based in third countries, including the UK and France, if their flight paths cross Spain.
An exception remains for emergencies, allowing aircraft to transit or land, but not to carry out operations against Iran.
