Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez on Friday (April 24, 2026) refused to be drawn into a dispute with the United States over reports that the Pentagon is weighing whether to punish members of NATO who fail to support American operations in the Iran war.
Among those in the firing line is Spain, which has refused to allow U.S. forces involved in the war to use bases on its territory or airspace. Spain says that U.S.-Israeli actions in the Iran war contravene international law.
