A White House statement that Spain had agreed to cooperate with U.S. military operations was immediately rejected by Madrid, which says its stance on the Middle East and use of Spanish bases remains unchanged and subject to bilateral and U.N. rules.

White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said it was her understanding Spain had agreed to cooperate with the U.S. military in recent hours.
Spain's foreign minister José Manuel Albares categorically denied the claim and said Madrid's position on the war and use of its bases has not changed.
Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez had publicly summarized Spain's stance as No to war, and Albares said Spanish bases would only be used under bilateral agreements and within United Nations frameworks.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent accused Spain of putting American lives at risk, while former president Donald Trump has criticized Spain's NATO spending and threatened trade measures.
