Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has dismissed reports suggesting the United States is considering punitive measures against certain allies over the ongoing Iran conflict, including a proposal that could see Spain suspended from NATO.
Speaking on Friday as he arrived for an informal gathering of European leaders in Cyprus, Sánchez made it clear that his government does not base its decisions on unverified internal communications, stressing that “we do not work on emails.” He emphasized that Spain responds only to official positions issued by the United States Government, underscoring Madrid’s commitment to established diplomatic channels.
Sánchez reaffirmed that Spain continues to cooperate fully with its allies but will always do so within the framework of international law, signaling a firm stance on legality amid rising geopolitical tensions.
The comments come after reports emerged that Washington is exploring possible actions against allies deemed uncooperative in relation to operations involving Iran, highlighting growing divisions within NATO as member states differ on how to respond to the escalating situation and the strategic challenges linked to the Strait of Hormuz.
