Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has dismissed reports that the Pentagon is considering suspending Spain from NATO over support for American operations in the Iran war. Spain has refused to allow U.S. forces involved in the war to use bases on its territory or airspace, arguing that such actions violate international law. The Pentagon is reportedly considering this punishment, citing an email from an unidentified U.N. official. Spain's stance is supported by the United Kingdom and France, who are leading efforts to secure trade in the Strait of Hormuz once the war ends. However, the United States has long-standing agreements with European allies on overflight and basing that should be respected.
