Spain closes airspace to aircraft involved in Iran war

TEHRAN, Mar. 30 (MNA) – Spain has closed its airspace to flights involved in Operation Epic Fury, launched by the U.S. and Israel against Iran.

Not only is it prohibiting the use of the military bases in Rota (Cádiz) and Morón de la Frontera (Seville) by fighter jets or in-flight refueling aircraft participating in the attack; it is also denying airspace access to U.S. aircraft stationed in third countries, such as the United Kingdom or France, according to military sources, El País reported. 

“We have denied the United States the use of the Rota and Morón bases for this illegal war. All flight plans involving operations in Iran have been rejected. All of them, including those for refueling aircraft,” said Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez last Wednesday in Congress.

In other words, flyovers by bombers or tanker aircraft participating in this operation are not being approved. The Spanish ban has a single exception: in emergency situations, the aircraft in question will be authorized to transit or land.
