  • Spain has officially closed its airspace to U.S. military aircraft involved in the war against Iran, a move confirmed by the Spanish Defence Minister as part of Madrid’s opposition to the conflict.

    The decision goes beyond an earlier refusal to allow U.S. forces to use Spanish military bases for operations linked to the war, and forces American military planes to reroute around Spanish territory if they’re part of actions against Iran.

    Spain’s government, led by Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, says the action aligns with its stance that the military campaign lacks international legal authorization — and has drawn both diplomatic tension with the United States and broader attention in global discussions about the war.

  • Spain has issued a major political warning ahead of Eurovision Song Contest, saying it will not participate this year if Israel remains in the contest.

    The statement marks a significant escalation, as Eurovision has traditionally positioned itself as a non-political event — yet ongoing tensions surrounding Israel’s participation have increasingly blurred that line.

    If followed through, Spain’s withdrawal would be one of the most high-profile boycotts in the competition’s history, potentially putting pressure on organizers and other countries to take a stance.

  • An X user has pointed out what they see as a contradiction at the heart of the conflict — that the stated objective is to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, even though the escalation of war is what led to its closure in the first place.

    The Strait of Hormuz is one of the most critical oil shipping routes in the world, and disruptions there have immediate global consequences. Critics argue the situation reflects a cycle where military action creates the very crisis it later tries to resolve, while others say securing the waterway is necessary to stabilize global trade and energy markets.

    The post has struck a chord online, with many debating whether this is a case of strategic necessity — or a self-inflicted problem spiraling further.

  • The United States, Israel and Argentina were the only countries to vote against a United Nations resolution recognizing slavery as a the gravest crime against humanity, a move that has drawn international attention. The resolution passed despite their opposition.

  • Retired General Jim Mattis, who once served as Defense Secretary under Donald Trump, delivered a rare and direct rebuke of the former president’s leadership style.

    Mattis, widely respected across party lines and known for his traditionally non-political stance, has spoken out only sparingly since leaving office — making remarks like this especially notable. His criticism centers on what he sees as a departure from the long-standing expectation that U.S. presidents work to unify the country, even amid deep political divides.

    The comments continue to fuel debate over leadership, accountability, and the role of a president in bringing Americans together during turbulent times.

  • Retired four-star Army General Mark Milley, who served as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under Donald Trump, privately said Trump is “the most dangerous person to this country” and “a fascist to the core.”

    Milley said he had long harboured concerns about Trump’s mental state, but later concluded he was “a total fascist.”

    He added he was “deeply convinced” Trump remained a threat after losing the 2020 election and admitted he had feared being court-martialed if Trump returned to power.

    Trump had previously accused Milley of treason on social media and suggested he should face execution.
