Spain Draws a Line

Spain’s got a clear message for the US: don’t even think about using their jointly operated bases to launch attacks on Iran. And it’s not just Spain – Britain initially said no too, but Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s since done a U-turn, giving the green light for ‘collective self-defense’ purposes.

What’s Behind the Decision?

It’s not like Spain’s afraid of a fight, but it’s clear they don’t want to get dragged into a conflict that’s not their problem. And who can blame them? The US’s track record on Middle East interventions isn’t exactly stellar. It’s a bold move from Spain, and it’ll be interesting to see how the US reacts.
