În ciuda avertismentului primit de la Iran, Bulgaria a decis: Stratotanker-ele americane vor fi desfășurate pe teritoriul țării

Bulgaria has approved the deployment of US Stratotanker aircraft to support military operations in the Middle East, despite Iran's warnings. The decision allows for up to eight KC-135 tankers and 250 armed personnel to be stationed at Bezmer Air Base from July 24 to October 1, 2026. This move is based on a 2006 defense cooperation agreement with the US. Iran has condemned Bulgaria's decision, warning of consequences for any involvement in military aggression against Iran. Bulgarian Prime Minister Roumen Radev emphasized that the aircraft will only be used for logistical missions outside Bulgarian airspace.
