"Tharoor Accepted Congress Is Anti-Women": Rijiju’s Claim Puts Party On Backfoot

A political storm is unfolding within NATO as tensions between Spain and the United States spill onto the streets of Madrid. Hundreds of protesters gathered in the Spanish capital, chanting “No War” and voicing opposition to U.S. President Donald Trump and the ongoing conflict with Iran. The demonstrations also reflected growing support for Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, who has refused to allow U.S. military operations linked to the war to use Spanish bases or airspace. The protests come after reports of a leaked Pentagon email suggesting Spain could face consequences within NATO for not supporting U.S. actions. Sánchez dismissed the report, saying his government relies on official positions, not internal communications, and reaffirmed Spain’s commitment to international law.
