Madrid has been one of the fiercest critics of the escalating conflict in the Middle East and has refused to allow the U.S. to use jointly operated military bases on Spanish soil to conduct its strikes. In a televised address on Wednesday, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said respect for international law must be paramount and declared that his country said “no to war.” Robles stressed that Spain’s opposition to the attacks on Tehran did not make it a less valuable member of NATO. During Thursday’s interview on Spain’s Cadena Ser radio network, the defense minister said a Spanish Patriot…

There are no listed speakers from the Trump administration. A White House spokesperson did not respond to requests for comment. For the Europeans, it’s a chance to bask in the success of a kindred party at the peak of its power — and maybe have a little Trumpian aura rub off on them. “The MAGA movement is extremely important for Romanians, especially…

For one, Trump and his aides have cited many different objectives: deposing the regime, ensuring Iran never has nuclear weapons, destroying the country’s missile capabilities, vanquishing its navy, ending support for its proxies and terrorism, exacting revenge for past attacks killing Americans, as well as ensuring Iran can never project force beyond its borders. All these constitute a tall order, to say the least. Regime change, for one, is hard to achieve from the air, and yet it seems Washington has no intention of deploying ground troops to depose Iran’s regime, maintain order and assist a new one in taking…
