00:25A leaked Pentagon email is now exposing
00:29deep cracks inside NATO, suggesting the United States could take unprecedented steps against
00:35its own allies over the Iran war. According to Reuters, an internal Pentagon communication
00:42circulating at senior levels outlines possible measures to pressure NATO members, who are seen
00:48as failing to support U.S. operations against Iran. At the center of the dispute is military access.
00:55The email reportedly criticizes some allies for refusing or limiting access, basing, and
01:02overflight rights, known as ABO rights, during the Iran conflict. It calls this cooperation
01:08the absolute baseline for NATO membership. One of the most controversial options reportedly
01:15discussed is suspending certain difficult countries from influential NATO roles. Spain is specifically
01:22mentioned after it restricted the use of its bases for U.S. operations linked to the Iran war.
01:29Another proposal reportedly goes further, suggesting a review of U.S. diplomatic positions on historical
01:36disputes involving European territories, adding a political dimension far beyond the battlefield.
01:42For now, these remain internal proposals, not official policy. But the fact they are being discussed
01:49at senior levels inside the Pentagon highlights the strain the Iran war is placing on the NATO alliance.
01:57A war abroad is now triggering a political test inside the alliance itself, one that could reshape
02:03how NATO operates in the years ahead.
