"We do not work off emails. We work off official documents and government positions, in this case of the United States. The Spanish government's position is clear: absolute cooperation with the allies, but always within the framework of international legality."
"Spain is a reliable member within NATO. As a result, I am absolutely not worried."
"Given that NATO operates by consensus, it is not clear how a potential suspension would work, as there is no mechanism to allow for such a step."
"Spain's NATO membership was not in question. I see no reason why that should change."
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez stated he is not concerned about a report suggesting the US may expel Spain from NATO due to insufficient support in the Iran war. The US official indicated that internal Pentagon communications considered measures against NATO allies perceived as uncooperative. Sanchez emphasized Spain's commitment to international legality and cooperation with allies. He asserted Spain's reliability within NATO and dismissed the validity of the Pentagon email, noting that NATO operates by consensus and Spain's membership is not in question.
