Germany Munich Security Conference

Spain’s foreign minister has denied that the government has changed its position on supporting the U.S. military operations against Iran. Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares' comments on Wednesday contradicted a White House spokesperson. He told Spanish radio station Cadena Ser that "I can refute (the White House spokesperson.” Albares said that “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 White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt had said that Spain had changed its position and “they’ve agreed to cooperate with the U.S. military.”
