Spain has reaffirmed a ban on U.S. flights related to the war in Iran, denying use of its airspace and the Rota and Morón bases — a stance defended by Defense Minister Margarita Robles and tied by Economy Minister Carlos Cuerpo to Spain’s view that the conflict was initiated unilaterally and violates international law. U.S. aircraft, including refueling tankers, have been relocated to other European bases such as Germany and France, while a White House official says the move will not impede Operation Epic Fury and that U.S. goals are being met or surpassed.
