SPAIN
“Basket case” Spain Wins Exemption from NATO’s 5% Defense Spending Goal:
– Spain obtained an exemption from NATO’s ambitious defence spending target of 5% of GDP after several days of diplomatic wrangling that drew scorn from Donald Trump, right before leaders of the military alliance gather on Tuesday.
– “We fully respect the legitimate desire of other countries of increasing their defence investment but we won’t do it,” Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said on Sunday afternoon. The country can get defence expenditure up to 2.1%, “nothing more, nothing less.”
– In a letter to North Atlantic Treaty Organization Secretary General Mark Rutte dated Sunday seen by Bloomberg, Sanchez said Spain will meet the alliance’s ambitious new weapons and troop targets, but without committing to the price tag that NATO had attached to it.
– Spain will decide on how to comply with the targets and that the statement adopted at the summit will give Spain “flexibility” to “determine its own sovereign path for reaching the capability targets,” Rutte said in his own letter to Sanchez on Sunday.
– NATO has said that 3.5% of GDP was needed to meet these targets, up from 2% currently, while an addition 1.5% in defence-related spending would help it reach Trump’s desired 5%. Earlier on Sunday, the group tweaked the draft statement’s language to “allies” commit to spending 5% of GDP on defence, from “we” commit, according to people familiar with the talks. The adjustment introduced a nuance meant to provide more flexibility to the commitment, said the people, who requested anonymity to discuss private considerations. The alliance didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
– Sanchez’s opposition to the 5% target — calling it unreasonable and counterproductive for his nation — prompted Trump to deride Spain on Friday as a “low payer” who should step up on defence.

MALAGA PROVINCE
Tropical nights will continue in Malaga all week, temps will reach a maximum of 40 degrees: {Translation}
– Astronomical summer has just officially begun, but it has been heating up for weeks. And it will continue to do so. The high temperatures recorded in recent days will persist this week in Malaga, leaving practically the entire province with tropical nights, with minimum temperatures that, barring any changes, will be around 25 degrees.
– There will be no respite during the day either, especially in inland areas. Pizarra, in the Guadalhorce Valley region, will reach the highest maximum temperatures in the middle of the week. The mercury will rise until it hits 40 degrees on Thursday, very close to the 42 degrees that the State Meteorological Agency expects in other parts of Andalusia, such as Seville. There will, however, be a slight drop on Friday, when the highs will be around 36 degrees, before rising again to 38 degrees on Saturday.
– The outlook will be similar in the lower Guadalhorce area, in Cártama and also in Álora, where temperatures will also reach 40 degrees, although a slight drop in temperature is expected. Coín will reach 38 degrees on Thursday.
– In Malaga city, the week will begin with temperatures of 32 degrees, according to the weather forecast. The heat will gradually decrease, only to return with a vengeance on Thursday. The mercury will reach 37 degrees and then drop on Saturday, when temperatures are not expected to exceed 32 degrees. For the time being, no torrid or equatorial nights are expected, which the Meteorological Office defines as nights when the temperature does not fall below 25 degrees.
– Temperatures will be milder in the westernmost part of the province.
– The heat will also give a relative respite in the Axarquía region. Nerja will be one of the municipalities with the lowest maximum temperatures; along with its neighbouring municipalities it should not reach much more than 30 degrees. Rincón de la Victoria will record slightly higher temperatures.
– The week of 30 June to 6 July is also likely to be warmer than normal throughout the country, especially in the interior of the peninsula. Rainfall will be scarce, in principle. However, it cannot be ruled out that storms will form again in the afternoons. The situation, which is more uncertain due to the distance in time, will probably be similar during the week of 7 to 13 July.

LANJARÓN
Lanjarón brings together thousands of people on Monday night for its iconic water race as part of its Fiestas del Agua y el Jamón: {Translation, summary}
– Lanjarón, a municipality of around 3,600 inhabitants in the Alpujarra region of Granada, is preparing to welcome thousands of visitors on Monday night who will come to take part in its famous water race, a Festival of Tourist Interest in Andalusia, in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
– The race, which aspires to be declared of National Tourist Interest, according to Lanjarón’s mayor, Eric Escobedo, in a greeting to his neighbours consulted by Europa Press, uses water that ‘is intended for irrigation’ in a commitment to sustainability.
– As part of the 44th San Juan Festival, the Lanjarón Town Council has designed a programme of activities that includes ‘everything from daytime fairs to parades’ and concerts ‘for all ages’ and ‘designed to be enjoyed by everyone in the municipality, from the youngest to the oldest’.
– In his message, Escobedo also asks his neighbours for ‘understanding and patience for all those who may find their rest or daily routine disrupted by this celebration’.
– The celebration of the Fiestas del Agua y el Jamón (Water and Ham Festival) began last Friday and ends this Tuesday.

EUROPE
Belgium announces border checks in migration clampdown:
– Belgium will introduce border checks on people coming into the country to clamp down on illegal migration, the government said, in another limit on free movement across Europe’s Schengen zone.
– The restrictions in the country that borders the Netherlands, France, Luxembourg and Germany will start this summer, a spokesperson for the junior minister for migration, Anneleen Van Bossuyt, said on Friday.
– “Time for entry controls. Belgium must not be a magnet for those stopped elsewhere. Our message is clear: Belgium will no longer tolerate illegal migration and asylum shopping,” Van Bossuyt wrote on X.
– The announcement follows similar moves by the Netherlands and Germany. “The checks will be carried out in a targeted manner on major access roads such as motorway car parks, on bus traffic … on certain trains … and on intra-Schengen flights from countries with high migration pressure, such as Greece and Italy,” a Belgian government statement said late on Thursday.

MIDDLE EAST
USA ensures that Iran’s nuclear program has been completely “devastated”: {Translation}
– The United States Secretary of Defence, Pete Hegseth, stated this Sunday that the attack carried out by the United States against Iranian nuclear facilities, Operation ‘Midnight Hammer’, has “completely devastated” Iran’s nuclear programme and represented an “overwhelming success”.
– In an initial briefing to American media, Hegseth and the Chief of the Army General Staff, General Dan Caine, detailed the particulars of a mission led primarily by seven B-2 bombers, which were directly responsible for attacking the Natanz, Isfahan, and especially Fordow facilities. Fordow was struck by ‘Massive Ordnance Penetrator’ (MOP GBU-57) deep-penetration bombs, marking the first operational combat use of this type of weapon, as well as by MOAB guided super-bombs.
– The operation involved more than 125 aircraft and included a deception manoeuvre with bombers deployed over the Pacific as a “decoy”, according to the general.
– The true protagonists of the operation were seven B-2 Spirit bombers, according to Caine, which flew an 18-hour route from their base in Missouri to Iran, with several refuelling stops, before proceeding to bomb, at around 1:10 a.m. this Sunday (Spanish mainland and Balearic time), the Natanz and Fordow facilities.
– In total, approximately 14 MOAB bombs were used during these bombings and at least two MOP bombs struck directly the mountains protecting the underground Fordow facility. At the same time, an American submarine fired more than 24 Tomahawk missiles at the Isfahan nuclear installation. Twenty minutes after the start of the bombings, the B-2 aircraft left Iranian airspace.
– General Caine went on to assess the impact of the attacks, indicating that the three targeted areas had suffered “extremely severe” damage, according to the Chief of the General Staff.
– Hegseth was keen to clarify, however, that there are still no complete conclusions regarding the attack and that it has always been a “precision operation” against the “threat posed by Iran’s nuclear programme”. It has never sought “regime change” in the Islamic republic and the US is not at war with Iran, as has been speculated.
– There is also no evidence that Iranian fighter jets took off to try to stop the operation or that Iranian ground defence systems were activated, which General Caine described as a success for the element of surprise.
– “The order we received from our Commander-in-Chief, President Donald Trump, was concise, forceful, and clear,” Hegseth stated during the briefing, before warning Iran once again to refrain from taking retaliatory measures against US bases or any of its interests in the region. “That would be a very bad idea,” warned the Secretary of Defence.
– At the same time, Hegseth again extended a hand to Iran and confirmed “private contacts” with the authorities of the Islamic republic “through multiple channels” to offer Tehran “every opportunity to come to the negotiating table”. “Iran fully understands our position, exactly what steps they can take to achieve peace, and we hope that is what happens,” he said.

The Iranian Parliament recommends closing the Strait of Hormuz pending Khamenei’s final decision: {Translation}
– The Islamic Consultative Assembly, Iran’s Parliament, recommended this Saturday the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s main commercial and economic routes, in retaliation for the United States’ attack on the country’s nuclear facilities, although the final decision will rest with the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
– In comments reported by Iranian state radio and television, General Esmaeil Kousari, a member of the Parliament’s National Security Commission, confirmed that the chamber “has reached the conclusion that the strait should be closed, but the decision lies with the Supreme National Security Council.”
– Iran is a major oil producer, pumping 3.3 million barrels of crude oil per day and exporting nearly 1.7 million, so if there is an escalation in the conflict, it is not difficult to foresee an interruption in the supply of Iranian oil.
– Experts such as Warren Patterson, Head of Commodities Strategy at ING Research, warned in mid-month that an escalation scenario increases the likelihood of disruptions to maritime transport, which would affect oil flows from the Persian Gulf. “A significant disruption of these flows would be enough to push prices to $120 per barrel,” the analyst points out, anticipating that if the disruptions persist towards the end of the year, “we could see Brent trading at new all-time highs, surpassing the record of nearly $150 per barrel set in 2008.” Source, Spanish: https://www.europapress.es/internacional/noticia-parlamento-irani-recomienda-cierre-estrecho-ormuz-espera-decision-final-jamenei-20250622152956.html

Iranian missile fired after US strikes causes heavy damage but few injuries in Tel Aviv:
– Hours after the U.S. struck three Iranian nuclear sites, Iran launched more than 40 missiles toward Israel on Sunday, wounding 23 people and destroying apartment buildings and homes in three cities.
– At an impact site in Tel Aviv, the blast had sheared off the face of a multistory residential building and damaged several others — including a nursing home — in a radius of hundreds of meters (yards). But few people were wounded, as many residents had been evacuated and others made it to bomb shelters.

RECALLS
Sunscreen products of Parasol brand recalled due to risk of infection: {Translation, summary}
– Several batches of a brand of sunscreen have had to be withdrawn from sale due to possible microbiological contamination. According to the Spanish Agency for Medicines and Health Products (AEMPS), its use could pose a risk of irritation or infection in case of contact with the eyes or damaged skin.
– The products in question are from the Parasol brand, which are no longer being sold. The company responsible for marketing these cosmetics is Laboratoires Dermosun, based in France, and the distributor in Spain, Dermosun Ibérica BÉRICA, S.L., has already begun to withdraw the affected batches from points of sale and to recover the units purchased by various users.
– According to the AEMPS, the distributor has confirmed that only six of the ten affected products have been distributed in Spain. However, due to free movement in the European market, the presence of the remaining products in Spain cannot be ruled out.
– The affected batches of these products are those with batch numbers starting with 01 to 14 and 90 to 92, and were sold between March 2024 and May 2025.
– You can find the batch number on the bottom of the packaging. If you have any units from the affected batches, do not use them and return them to the establishment where you purchased the product.

TECH
Sixteen billion passwords for Apple, Facebook, Google and even government services accounts have been leaked in what experts are calling the single biggest data breach ever:
– The password leak is thought to have come about after multiple infostealers exposed 30 datasets, each one containing anywhere from tens of millions of passwords to over 3.5 billion records.
– Google was quick to warn billions of its users to change their passwords, quickly followed by warnings from other tech giants.
– All but one of the datasets exposed are not thought to have been previously made public, meaning all the sensitive data is new and likely current, as reported by tech news site Cybernews.
– What’s more, the breaches may not be over, with researchers looking into the incident saying that new huge datasets emerge every few weeks, a sign that the infostealer malware is not only still active but also still effective. “This is not just a leak,” said the team of researchers. “It’s a blueprint for mass exploitation. With over 16 billion login records exposed, cybercriminals now have unprecedented access to personal credentials that can be used for account takeover, identity theft, and highly targeted phishing.”
– Unfortunately, there’s no sure way to know if your password was leaked. The best course of action is to change all your passwords as soon as possible. When changing your password, most services will also offer an option to sign yourself out of your account on all devices, which should kick out anyone who has gained access to your account.
– That said, you should certainly keep a close eye on your accounts and look out for any unusual activity.
