Published April 24, 2026 Updated April 24, 2026 01:27pm

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has dismissed a Reuters report that an internal Pentagon email explored way of punishing Nato members who did not support the US war on Iran, including suspending Spain from the military alliance, according to Al Jazeera.

Madrid only responds to official positions, not internal correspondence, Sanchez said.

“We do not work off of emails, we work from official documents and position,” he added.
