On Monday, in an unusual step, the Spanish government closed its airspace and the use of its military bases to aircraft involved in the ongoing operations in Iran. The decision includes a sweeping ban on the landing, takeoff, or refueling of fighter jets at the strategic "Rota" and "Morón" bases.
Following the move, and in coordination with the government in Madrid, Washington canceled its plan to deploy heavy bombers of the B-52 and B-1 types at Morón Air Base, which is considered a critical logistical hub for the US Air Force.
Amid tensions with the United States, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez criticized the activities of the Israel Defense Forces in southern Lebanon.
Sánchez declared that in the early hours of Sunday, a "new red line was crossed" after a UNIFIL soldier from the United Nations was killed and three others were wounded in an attack in Lebanon. Spain is now demanding immediate clarifications regarding the source of the fire and is calling on the Israeli government to cease hostilities in the region.
"Attacks against peacekeeping missions are unjustified aggression against the international community," said Sánchez, who expressed condolences to the family of the fallen soldier. The UNIFIL force operates in southern Lebanon under Security Council Resolution 1701, and Spain is one of the main contributors of personnel to this mission.

They’re FAFOing.
Did they close their land space to radical Muslim immigrants that support killing infidels?
They’re probably changing the name back to Al-Andalus.
The Spanish government with its pro- terrorism policies has to be replaced soon.
Research France's no-fly order during Operation El Dorado Canyon - 1986.
Trump should immediately close U.S. airspace from any airplanes of any type coming from Spain - all private and commercial jets included, and deny routing of any private or commercial jets from the U.S. to Spain.
They have chosen their side. Act accordingly.
Closet muslim Pedro
The Spanish government is a friend to Iran, and they’re one of the more friendlier European nations to China. This won’t end well for them.
To fighter planes? Is Iran using Spain’s airspace?
No. Spain is closing airspace to US airplanes.
It's a JOKE!
Another reason NATO is worthless.
Bring back Franco
Sánchez is leftist radical and an enemy of the West.
I don’t follow the politics in Spain at all...when did this sanchez freak or better yet HOW did this Traitor to all Spaniard’s get his sorry ass into the position to be able to destroy this historic Country so quickly? Are the civilians armed ? Doesn’t appear so.
Catalonia, that’s how. They are basically Communists there. Turn them loose.
+10
Unfortunately for the citizens of Spain, it is not even a close call based on their government's prior actions.
So did the EU use the carrot or the stick...?
