Spain Denies Use Of Bases For Attacks On Iran

The United States has relocated at least 15 military aircraft from two bases in southern Spain after the Spanish government stated that the facilities cannot be used to support attacks on Iran. The aircraft, primarily aerial refueling tankers such as the Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker, departed Naval Station Rota and Morón Air Base, with some landing at Ramstein Air Base in Germany. Spanish Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares emphasized that any use of Spanish bases must align with the UN Charter and existing agreements with the US. This move comes as tensions surrounding Iran continue to escalate, with Spain’s stance differing from that of other nations like Britain. The relocation was reported by Reuters, citing flight-tracking data from FlightRadar24.
