Iran has urged Bulgaria to reconsider its decision to allow the temporary deployment of U.S. military aircraft at Bezmer air base. According to Iranian state media cited in the report, Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi raised the issue directly and described Sofia's approval as a move that supports aggression against Iran.
The dispute highlights growing regional sensitivity over military access and transit as tensions involving Iran continue to draw in countries beyond the immediate conflict zone. By objecting to the use of a Bulgarian base, Tehran is signaling that it views logistical support for U.S. operations as part of a broader pressure campaign against it.
Araqchi's message to Bulgaria was framed as a diplomatic warning, with Iran making clear that it sees the decision as unacceptable. The report says he also spoke with Cyprus, indicating that Tehran is reaching out to other governments in the region as it tries to limit cooperation it believes could be used against Iranian interests.
The development adds another layer to Iran's foreign policy response as it seeks to challenge military arrangements involving the United States. While no change in Bulgaria's position was reported in the snippet, Iran's appeal shows how base access and aircraft deployments have become part of the wider diplomatic confrontation.
