I know, the title is not very “not-the-onion-y”. But the piece of news is: Spanish Foreign Minister Albares was in a radio interview while Leavit said that. So he basically spent her live in a national radio station, in one of the most listened programs of the country.
Did they think Spain would just go along with it to save face?

When tf did the middle east become the Mideast? Makes it sound like Iran is Minnesota or something.
his government wouldn’t allow the U.S. to use jointly operated bases in southern Spain in any strikes not covered by the U.N. charter.
This is very specific language. Are they allowed to use non-jointly-operated bases? Are the strikes potentially covered by the UN Charter?

Did you miss that part.
Spain most certainly wouldn’t.
