Madrid Restricts Flights Over Iranian Conflict

Spain has closed its airspace to US military aircraft involved in the war in Iran, according to reports from Spanish newspaper El Pais. The ban applies to both flights originating from Spanish territory and overflights by US aircraft based in third countries. This decision follows Spain’s earlier refusal to allow its military bases to be used for attacks on Iran. Despite the restrictions, routine US military activity under the bilateral defense agreement continues, as reported by AeroTime.
