Portugal prosecutors probe legality of US use of Lajes base in Iran war

LISBON, Oct 3 (Reuters) - Portuguese prosecutors said on Saturday they had opened a probe into the legality of the centre-right government's authorisation of the United ​States' use of the Lajes Air Base in the Azores during ‌the Iran conflict, following a complaint by an opposition party.

A longstanding agreement with the US allows Washington to use the base without prior authorisation during peacetime, but requires ​Portugal to give approval once hostilities begin.

Portugal, unlike neighbouring Spain, authorised ​several US transit flights through the Lajes air base, a decision ⁠that drew criticism from left-wing opposition parties and triggered a political ​debate over Lisbon's role in operations linked to the conflict with Iran.

In a ​statement, the Prosecutor General's Office said "the probe was opened following a complaint filed by members of the Left Bloc party," without providing further details.

Portugal's Foreign Ministry declined to ​comment.

The Left Bloc asked prosecutors in April to investigate the US use ​of the Lajes base, arguing it amounted to a "gross violation of international law."

However, Foreign ‌Minister ⁠Paulo Rangel has said Portugal was not involved in the conflict and that the use of the Lajes base complied with international law, having been authorised only after assurances from Washington that any operation would be defensive, ​necessary and proportionate, ​and limited to ⁠military targets.

Portugal's prosecutors are bound by the principle of legality, requiring them to investigate alleged wrongdoing when there are ​sufficient grounds to do so, unlike in some jurisdictions ​where prosecutors ⁠have broader discretion to decide whether a case should proceed.

The Lajes base, located in Portugal's Atlantic Azores archipelago, is a strategic transit hub for US ⁠forces ​under a bilateral defence treaty dating back to ​1951 and hosts the 65th Air Base Wing of the US Air Force, providing support ​for US, NATO and allied operations.

Exclusive: US considering using ‘mother of all bombs’ against Iran, sources say

Trump has ordered the military to develop additional strike packages against Iranian targets that include “a lot of energy infrastructure” and the potential use of a MOAB, one of the sources told CNN. The same source said the phrasing used was that this attack would come “prior to US retrograde in CENTCOM AOR (area of responsibility),” indicating the administration could launch the additional strikes, attempt to declare victory and quickly pull everyone out.

A second source told CNN that military plans for striking Iranian nuclear sites, including Pickaxe Mountain, also explicitly call for using the MOAB. In recent months, Trump has repeatedly threatened to strike Pickaxe, where the US and Israel believe Tehran has stored components of its nuclear program, even after pausing full combat operations earlier this year, and Trump continues to emphasize that his goal is to ensure Iran never obtains a nuclear weapon.

Und dann will man eine Waffe einsetzen, deren Sprengkraft mit einer "kleinen" Atombombe vergleichbar ist ...

Und dann will man eine Waffe einsetzen, deren Sprengkraft mit einer "kleinen" Atombombe vergleichbar ist ...

Es geht um die Midterms und nicht um militärische Sinnhaftigkeit. Trump muss die Straße von Hormus aufmachen, um den Spritpreis zu senken, sonst war es das für ihn. Dazu wird ihm fast jedes Mittel recht sein, siehe den Dieselkauf bei den Russen. Die nächsten drei Monate werden sehr grauslich werden und es würde mich nicht wundern, wenn auch Grönland wieder auf die Agenda kommt.
