Iranian officials delivered a clear message to NATO member Bulgaria last month, explicitly stating that the country should not permit the United States to utilize its airports for aircraft engaged in military operations targeting iran. This formal warning was announced by the Iranian foreign ministry on Wednesday. The communication followed earlier developments, with Stanislav Balabanov, a representative of the “There Are Such People” party, circulating a document dated March 18th.
This note revealed that the Iranian government had already voiced its strong objections to the American military providing fuel to aircraft stationed at Vasil Levski Airport in bulgaria. The Iranian government asserted that it “reserves the right to take all necessary measures to protect its national sovereignty, security, and interests in accordance with international law.” This underscored their serious concerns regarding potential American activities within bulgaria’s airspace. Subsequently, Deputy Foreign Minister Marin Raikov further elaborated on the situation, confirming the initial warning and emphasizing the importance of respecting iran’s borders and security.
The situation highlights a growing tension between iran and countries hosting American military assets, specifically regarding access to airports.
