00:01Spain has banned US military aircraft involved in the Iran war from using its airspace and
00:07military bases. The ban extends an earlier restriction that applied only to two American
00:13installations on Spanish soil and now covers the entire country.
00:33The restrictions have been communicated to US forces from the outset and are not a sudden
00:38policy shift, she stressed. Foreign Minister José Manuel Alvarez added Madrid would block
00:44any US flights linked to the conflict from entering Spanish airspace. The US did not
00:49immediately comment, but US President Donald Trump has threatened earlier this month to
00:55cut off all trade with Spain over its refusal to allow the bases to be used for Iran operations.
01:01Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has taken a stance against the war in Iran, led by the
01:07United States and Israel, calling it an extraordinary mistake.
