Spain has refused to allow the United States to use jointly operated military bases on its territory for strikes against Iran, as Madrid hardened its criticism of the widening conflict across the Middle East.
Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez condemned what he described as “unilateral military action” by Washington and Israel, calling it an “unjustified and dangerous military intervention” that risks creating “a more hostile and uncertain international order”. His remarks came as US President Donald Trump signalled that the campaign against Iran could last for weeks.
