În Portugalia s-a deschis o anchetă pentru a stabili dacă SUA au folosit legal baza aeriană Lajes în războiul cu Iranul
Portuguese prosecutors have launched an investigation into the legality of the government's authorization for U.S. use of Lajes Air Base during the Iran conflict, following a complaint from an opposition party. The agreement allows U.S. access during peacetime without prior approval, 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 General Prosecutor's Office confirmed the investigation was initiated after a complaint from the Left Bloc party, which claims U.S. use of the base violates international law. However, the Foreign Minister stated that Portugal's involvement was compliant with international law, based on assurances from Washington regarding the nature of operations.
