AI Summary

long article 15 min

Spanish Defence Minister Margarita Robles has reiterated Spain's commitment to NATO and unilateralism, stating that the country will not allow US use of its bases for Iran strikes without explicit permission. This decision was made despite pressure from the US and Israel, with Robles saying "no one knows what will happen with this war" and that Spain does not accept lectures on peace commitments. The move comes as tensions rise over the conflict in Ukraine, where EU ministers have arrived to mark the anniversary of the Bucha massacre. Meanwhile, Italy has insisted that its relations with the US are solid despite a decision to block use of its Sicily base for Iran operations. Robles' comments come amid a standoff over using NATO bases for Iran strikes.
