Madrid, March 4, 2026 (Saudi Arabia Breaking News) – José Manuel Albares said on Wednesday Spain has not changed its position on supporting U.S. military operations against Iran, contradicting a statement by Karoline Leavitt.
“I can refute (the White House spokesperson),” Albares told Spanish radio station Cadena SER. “The position of the Spanish government regarding the war in the Middle East, the bombing of Iran and the use of our bases has not changed one iota.”
Albares spoke in Madrid shortly after Leavitt said Spain had changed its position and “they’ve agreed to cooperate with the U.S. military.”
