Anchetă în Portugalia în legătură cu legalitatea utilizării bazei aeriene Lajes de către SUA în războiul din Iran

Portuguese prosecutors have launched an investigation into the legality of the U.S. use of Lajes Air Base during the Iran war, following a complaint from an opposition party. The agreement allows U.S. access in peacetime without prior authorization, but requires Lisbon's consent during hostilities. This decision has sparked criticism from left-wing parties and raised political debates about Portugal's role in the Iran conflict. The Left Bloc party claims the U.S. use of the base violates international law. However, the Foreign Minister stated that Portugal's involvement was compliant with international law, emphasizing that operations were defensive and limited to military targets.
