Portugal prosecutors probe US use of Lajes base in Iran war
Original: Portugal prosecutors probe legality of US use of Lajes base in Iran war
Portuguese prosecutors have opened an investigation into whether the United States' use of the Lajes air base in the Azores during the war with Iran was lawful. The probe examines whether the base, a long-standing US-Portugal defence cooperation site, was used in ways consistent with the bilateral agreements governing it. It puts a spotlight on Portugal's role in the conflict and could strain relations with Washington.
Why now: The investigation raises fresh questions about a NATO ally's complicity in the Iran war just as the conflict remains in the headlines.
