A leaked Pentagon email reported by Reuters suggests rising internal frustration inside the alliance as Spain refuses U.S. requests for military access tied to operations in the Iran conflict.

Spain has defended its position as consistent with international law, but Washington reportedly views cooperation as a core alliance requirement.
