US weighs action against Spain, UK over Iran stance amid NATO tensions
A leaked Pentagon email reported by Reuters says the US may consider measures against Spain and the UK over their Iran positions, including suspending Spain from NATO. Officials deny or downplay any policy shift as NATO unity remains central.
The United States is considering potential measures against Spain and United Kingdom over their positions on the Iran conflict, according to a leaked internal communication reported by Reuters.
The email, attributed to the Pentagon, reportedly discusses the possibility of suspending Spain from NATO, stating such a move would carry symbolic weight with limited operational impact. Spain had opposed the U.S.-Israeli military actions against Iran and did not allow the use of its bases for related operations.
The document also refers to a potential shift in U.S. policy regarding the Falkland Islands, a territory disputed between the United Kingdom and Argentina. No formal policy change has been announced.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said his government remains committed to NATO, adding that decisions are based on official positions rather than internal communications. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said the alliance must remain united.
Commenting on the report, British media personality Piers Morgan posted a response on X referring to the Falklands issue. The U.S. government has not issued any official statement confirming the measures outlined in the leaked email.
