The Pentagon is considering ejecting Spain from the Atlantic Alliance. Madrid strongly condemned the American attack on Iran and refused the American military to use its airspace and bases in Spain.
With such allies, there is no need for enemies. The Trump administration did not appreciate the European refusal to support its actions in Iran after the attack on the country by Washington and Tel Aviv at the end of February. To the point that the Pentagon is now considering sanctioning its allies. Among the options being considered is the suspension of Spain from the Atlantic Alliance, according to an internal Pentagon email. This option is even circulating at the highest levels of the American administration, according to a senior official quoted anonymously by Reuters. However, it seems completely unthinkable in light of the rules of the North Atlantic Treaty.
No European country followed Donald Trump in his Iranian offensive, despite his insistence to be supported by NATO warships. On March 30, a month after the start of this war, the left-wing Spanish government had even said it was “completely opposed” to the operation “Fury Epic” and had closed its airspace to American planes.
