- Unfazed by Iran’s threats, Bulgaria moves to aid U.S. military operations
Bulgaria's Defence Committee approved a draft decision to allow U.S. tanker aircraft to support military operations against Iran from Bezmer Air Base. The move follows a U.S. diplomatic request under the 2006 Defense Cooperation Agreement, despite threats from Iranian officials. Parliamentary approval is pending, with political figures suggesting the action could strengthen Bulgaria's position in negotiations with allies.
