SPAIN
Rutte contradicts Sánchez about the 2.1% expenditure in defence- “NATO is convinced that Spain will have to spend 3.5%”: {Translation, summary}
– Pedro Sánchez proudly boasted in an official statement at the Moncloa Palace Sunday that he had reached an agreement with NATO exempting him from committing to spending 5% of GDP on defence. Sánchez assured that Spain will allocate 2.1% of its GDP to defence spending, ‘no more, no less’, and that this will ‘allow it to guarantee all its commitments to NATO’.
– NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said on Monday that Spain will have to increase its defence spending to 3.5% of gross domestic product (GDP) if it wants to meet the military capability targets set by the Alliance. During a press conference prior to the NATO leaders’ summit in The Hague, Rutte ruled out the possibility of Spain having an exclusion clause that would allow it to remain outside the 5% GDP spending commitment agreed with the other allied countries. ‘There are no exemption clauses in NATO and it does not understand parallel pacts or agreements,’ said the secretary general. Source, Spanish: https://www.antena3.com/noticias/espana/rutte-contradice-sanchez-gasto-21-defensa-otan-esta-convencida-que-espana-tendra-que-gastar-35_20250623685963a8f68fe227a8474652.html

Feijóo says that Sánchez “has no legitimacy” to adopt an agreement on defence spending: “He is a con man” (trilero): {Translation, summary}
– The leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo {pic}, stated on Monday that they do not know “exactly” what the Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, has agreed with NATO, but emphasised that, in any case, he “has no legitimacy” to make a pact on defence spending, as he lacks the backing of Congress and a General State Budget (PGE).
– “The truth is that no one believes what he tells us because he is a trickster and because his primary aim is to deceive his partners, continue deceiving the Spanish public, and he has no legitimacy to make any agreement in the name and representation of Spain,” Feijóo said in an interview with esRadio, as reported by Europa Press.
– He spoke after Sánchez announced on Sunday an agreement with NATO not to increase Spain’s military spending to 5% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP): “We respect the legitimate desire of other countries to increase their defence investment if they wish, but we will not do so.”
– The opposition leader stated that they do not know “what has been agreed” nor “what the agreement consists of” and insisted that Sánchez has “no” authorisation “to speak on behalf of the Spanish people,” something he said he would convey this week to his colleagues in the European People’s Party (EPP) during his visit to Brussels.
– “This is simply another deception, whose consequences we do not know, nor do we know if it will have consequences for Spain and the defence of Spanish citizens,” he said, adding that the PP will tell people “the truth,” which is that “at this moment” the Prime Minister “is not trustworthy.”
– The PP leader reiterated that they do not know what has been agreed but assumed they will find out. “Sánchez will increase Spain’s military spending until 2029 by around 12 to 13 billion euros. Secondly, he has no budget to do so, no authorisation from Congress to specify it, and it is unknown how he will implement it,” he said.
– Feijóo noted that the agreement “runs until 2035 and, therefore, no one knows what will happen between 2029 and 2035.” “So, when the summit ends—The Hague this week—we will see if this flexibility given to the member state, Spain, will also be granted to other countries,” he added, saying it remains to be seen “how the capability objectives will be met.”
– The PP leader insisted that this week he is travelling to an EPP summit, where he will convey that this is “a decision by Mr Sánchez, not by Spain.” “It is the Spanish Prime Minister’s decision; he neither has budgets, nor government agreement, nor speaks in the name and representation of the Spanish people,” he declared. Moreover, he criticised the “ghostly press conference” Sánchez held at Moncloa on Sunday to present the NATO agreement, which, he said, proves that “he is alone” and that “his only aim is to remain Prime Minister.” Source, Spanish: https://www.europapress.es/nacional/noticia-feijoo-dice-sanchez-no-tiene-legitimidad-adoptar-acuerdo-gasto-defensa-trilero-20250623101246.html
ANDALUCÍA
The mayor of Rota, host of a joint USA/Spanish Navy base, does not perceive an impact on the base after the US attack to Iran: {Translation}
– The mayor of Rota, Javier Ruiz, has stated that in the municipality “there is a sense of normality despite the general concern that any citizen in the world might have regarding the situation seen in the news” in relation to the conflict with Iran, where the United States (US) carried out bombings on some targets this past weekend.
– “On a day-to-day basis here in Rota, practically nothing is being noticed beyond the usual activity of the military base, which, in principle, is not having any kind of impact despite there being more or less movement these days,” the mayor added in an interview with Canal Sur, reported by Europa Press. {Looks like we found another master of the word salad. -Ed.}
– In this regard, he expressed that “there is widespread calm among the population and, of course, among all the people who are visiting us.”
– Regarding the movement within the military base, the mayor indicated that what is happening is “the usual comings and goings of the ships deployed here; there is no issue that changes the day-to-day situation.” “We are more than accustomed to this kind of thing here, and for now there is absolute normality among the population,” he emphasised.
– It is worth recalling that in the early hours of this Sunday, the United States attacked three Iranian nuclear facilities in Isfahan, Natanz, and Fordo, marking the country’s involvement in the conflict that broke out days ago between Israel and the Islamic Republic. Furthermore, US authorities have issued a “global security alert” warning their citizens abroad to exercise extreme caution in light of possible “demonstrations” against them.

Valero demands to know whether the use of bases has been authorised: ‘Andalusia cannot be used as a platform for war.’: {Translation, summary}
– Toni Valero {pic}, General Coordinator of IU Andalucía and Sumar deputy, has called on the Spanish Government for immediate explanations regarding the use of Andalusian military bases in US military operations, which he deems illegal. Speaking in Málaga, Valero condemned the US attack on Iranian nuclear facilities as a dangerous unilateral act violating international law, warning it could lead to devastating consequences and possibly a world war.
– He highlighted recent activity at the US bases in Morón de la Frontera and Rota, where strategic refuelling aircraft have operated, and questioned Spain’s authorisation of these actions. Valero demanded that Andalusia not be used as a platform for war, emphasising the region’s identity as a land of peace. He urged the Spanish Government to assert full sovereignty over its territory and called for an end to the US military presence at the bases.
– Valero warned that Andalusia risks suffering the fallout of global US military conflicts if it continues to be used as a strategic pawn.

UKRAINE WAR
Russian attacks on Ukraine kill at least 10 and injure dozens:
– Russian drones and missiles killed at least 10 civilians in Ukraine in night time attacks, local officials said Monday, with seven deaths reported in the capital, Kyiv, where emergency crews raced to find people believed trapped under the rubble of a partially collapsed apartment building.
– Russia fired 352 drones and decoys overnight, as well as 11 ballistic missiles and five cruise missiles, Ukraine’s air force said. Air defences intercepted or jammed 339 drones and 15 missiles before they could reach their targets, a statement said.
– The strikes came nearly a week after a combined Russian attack on Ukraine last Tuesday killed 28 people in Kyiv, 23 of them in a residential building that collapsed after sustaining a direct missile hit.
– Russian forces have for several months been trying to drive deeper into Ukraine as part of a renewed summer push along the roughly 1,000-kilometer (620-mile) front line.

MIDDLE EAST
Satellite images indicate severe damage to Fordow, but doubts remain:
– Commercial satellite imagery indicates the U.S. attack on Iran’s Fordow nuclear plant severely damaged – and possibly destroyed – the deeply-buried site and the uranium-enriching centrifuges it housed, but there was no confirmation, experts said on Sunday. The hall containing hundreds of centrifuges is “too deeply buried for us to evaluate the level of damage based on satellite imagery,” said satellite imagery expert Decker Eveleth. Satellite images show six holes where the bunker-busting bombs appear to have penetrated the mountain, and then ground that looks disturbed and covered in dust.
– Several experts also cautioned that Iran likely moved a stockpile of near weapons-grade highly enriched uranium out of Fordow before the strike early Sunday morning and could be hiding it and other nuclear components in locations unknown to Israel, the U.S. and U.N. nuclear inspectors.
They noted satellite imagery from Maxar Technologies showing “unusual activity” at Fordow on Thursday and Friday, with a long line of vehicles waiting outside an entrance of the facility.
– A senior Iranian source told Reuters on Sunday most of the near weapons-grade 60% highly enriched uranium had been moved to an undisclosed location before the U.S. attack.

Putin was asked why is he not helping Iran. His reply:
– The Russian President said that Russia has a nuanced relationship with its allies in the Middle East.
– “I would like to draw your attention to the fact that almost two million people from the former Soviet Union and the Russian Federation reside in Israel. It is almost a Russian-speaking country today. And, undoubtedly, we always take this into account in Russia’s contemporary history,” Putin said while speaking at the plenary session of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum.
– Following US’ Sunday strikes on Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan nuclear sites in Iran, Russia condemned the bombings, calling them “irresponsible” and a “gross violation of international law”.

PM Starmer Backs US Strikes on Iran, Warns of Escalation:
– British Prime Minister Keir Starmer displayed his support of President Donald Trump’s military strikes on Iran by posting on X, “Iran’s nuclear programme is a grave threat to international security. Iran can never be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon and the US has taken action to alleviate that threat.”
– He said the security of the Middle East, however, remains a question following the U.S. bombing of the Iranian nuclear processing facilities. “The situation in the Middle East remains volatile, and stability in the region is a priority.” Now, said Starmer, is the time for Iran to realize it needs to back down. “We call on Iran to return to the negotiating table and reach a diplomatic solution to end this crisis.” Full article: https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/starmer-trump-attacks/2025/06/22/id/1216004/
