Caption: Rubio Warns U.S. Could Rethink NATO After Iran War. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Washington may reconsider its role in NATO after the Iran conflict. Rubio criticised allies for refusing basing rights and military support, calling it “not a very good arrangement”. President Donald Trump has intensified pressure on European partners over their limited involvement. Spain, led by Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, has barred U.S. warplanes from its airspace and denied access to bases. Italy, under Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, also refused U.S. aircraft use of the Sigonella base. Poland’s Defence Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz said Warsaw would not deploy Patriot systems to the Middle East. Major European powers including France, Germany and the U.K. have resisted sending naval forces to support operations in the Gulf. The dispute highlights deepening divisions within the transatlantic alliance as tensions over the Iran war escalate.
