00:01Spain has closed its airspace to U.S. planes involved in attacks on Iran, in addition to not allowing them
00:07to use the Moron and Rota military bases.
00:10That move was confirmed by Spanish Defense Minister Margarita Robles on Monday.
00:15We don't authorize either the use of military bases or the use of airspace for actions related to the war
00:21in Iran.
00:22The restrictions forced the U.S. to bypass NATO member Spain as its planes fly en route to their targets
00:28in the Middle East as part of the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran.
00:33Last week, Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said the country was taking action as Spain is a sovereign country that does
00:39not wish to take part in illegal wars.
00:42U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to cut trade with Madrid for denying the U.S. use of Spain's
00:48bases in the war.
00:49Trump has cited preventing Tehran from obtaining nuclear weapons as one of the reasons for attacking Iran.
00:56Tehran denies it is seeking a nuclear arsenal.
00:58No.
00:59No.
01:00No we are going to autorize that we have not yet to use the cases of the arrest of the
01:05similar
01:07army.
01:08We have not been authorized to ban the war.
01:09No we are going to autorize that we do is using the claro for making it.
01:15And there is no, as well, who will be able to do it at the time of Iran.
01:20The other way we are going to talk about NATO war and Iran.
01:24As you know, we have denied the United States the use of the base of Rota and of Morón for
01:46this illegal war.
01:48All the planes of flight that contemplated actions related to the operation in Iran have been rejected, including the planes
01:56of repostation.
01:57It is not easy, but I think we have done it because it allows, among other things, the bilateral agreement
02:03that gestion these bases and because we are a sovereign country that does not want to participate in wars.
