Multiple key U.S. allies in Europe are now taking unprecedented steps to restrict American military flights amid the ongoing conflict with Iran, widening diplomatic tensions with Washington. After Spain closed its airspace to U.S. military aircraft involved in operations against Iran — forcing bombers and refueling planes to reroute around Spanish territory — France has joined in by refusing to allow planes carrying U.S. weapons destined for the war to pass over its airspace.
Spain’s defense minister said the move reflects Madrid’s position that the conflict is “unilateral” and “against international law,” and it follows earlier refusals to let U.S. forces use jointly operated bases for war‑related flights. France’s action — reported by multiple diplomatic sources — marks the first time Paris has denied overflight for U.S. weapons shipments since the Iran conflict began, and has drawn sharp criticism from President Trump.
These developments signal a deepening rift within NATO, as European leaders balance alliance obligations with opposition to what they view as an escalating military campaign that risks broader regional and global instability.Multiple key U.S. allies in Europe are now taking unprecedented steps to restrict American military flights amid the ongoing conflict with Iran, widening diplomatic tensions with Washington.
