France, Italy, Spain Curb Some US Iran War Operations
France, Italy, and Spain have restricted US military activity linked to the war with Iran, exposing a widening split between Washington and key European allies. The restrictions have frustrated Washington and Israel, and underline the lack of unified support for the US Iran campaign within NATO.
France, Italy, and Spain have limited US military operations related to the Iran war. France denied overflight access for US equipment flights to Israel, while Italy refused some US aircraft permission to land at a base in Sicily. Spain closed its airspace to US planes involved in Iran strikes and limited base access to NATO missions. These restrictions have caused frustration in Washington and Israel. The moves reflect a deeper disagreement over the purpose and limits of NATO. European governments are trying to balance support for regional security with reluctance to enable a prolonged war against Iran.
