Iran warns Bulgaria against US use of airports for military operations
Iranian authorities issued a diplomatic warning to Bulgaria in March 2026 prohibiting NATO member Bulgaria from allowing U.S. aircraft to use its airports for military operations targeting Iran. The warning reflects escalating tensions between Iran and the U.S. over potential military action, and tests Bulgaria's alignment between NATO obligations and Iranian pressure. The timing and Bulgaria's response remain unclear.
