[Insider: Email reveals U.S. plans to 'expel' Spain from NATO due to disagreements over Iran issue] Reported by Jinse Finance, on April 24, a U.S. official disclosed to Reuters that an internal Pentagon email outlined punitive measures against NATO allies deemed to have failed in supporting U.S. military actions in the war with Iran. These measures include suspending Spain's NATO membership and reassessing the U.S. stance on the UK's sovereignty claims over the Falkland Islands. The official stated that the policy options were detailed in a memorandum, which expressed dissatisfaction with certain allies who were perceived as unwilling or refusing to provide the U.S. with access, basing, and overflight rights (referred to as ABO) during the Iran war. The official noted that the email emphasized ABO as 'merely the absolute baseline for NATO,' adding that these options had been extensively discussed at senior levels within the Pentagon. The official further mentioned that one of the proposals in the email envisioned excluding 'underperforming' countries from significant or influential positions within NATO. (Dongxin News Agency)
