Several European countries including Austria, Spain, Italy, France and Switzerland have restricted or denied U.S. military access linked to operations against Iran, highlighting growing divisions within the Western alliance over President Donald Trump’s strategy. While neutral states cited legal obligations to reject requests, key NATO allies imposed operational limits by closing airspace, denying base access and blocking overflights. The developments signal rising concern in Europe over escalation risks, energy security and deeper involvement in the Iran conflict, posing a significant test to transatlantic unity.
