Bulgaria allows US to use military bases for attacks on Iran

Bulgaria's parliament on Wednesday approved a government proposal allowing the US military to use an air base in the country to support US military operations in the Middle East, with some MPs expressing concern that this could embroil Bulgaria in a war with Iran.

President Donald Trump's administration has faced opposition from several other European Union countries over the use of air bases to support its military operations against Iran, the AP reported.

 
Bulgarian MPs voted 136 in favor, 13 against, and 2 abstentions to allow the deployment of up to eight US KC-135 aircraft, along with 250 military personnel and support equipment, to Bezmer Air Base from Friday until October 1. No further approvals will be required for this decision.

According to the Defense Cooperation Agreement between the United States and Bulgaria, signed in 2006, the Besmer base is a joint-use base. Whenever the United States wants to use the base for a new purpose, approval from the Bulgarian Parliament is required.

How Rama is leading the country towards civil strife

Insisting on violence, on arming civilians, on paying police officers as if they were mercenaries, alone does not produce peace. Edi Rama's fear of where he will end up when he is no longer prime minister does not have to become Albania's nightmare.

Andi Bushati: Why stones and Molotov cocktails became inevitable

This youth revolt has had a great merit. It made known to the general public the most criminal side of this regime that had until now been preserved in the most secretive recesses. If the extremely peaceful revolution of the flamingos showed us that this government was no longer popular, its radical epilogue, with stones and Molotov cocktails, is serving to bring to light that the autocrat is capable of using any means to stay in power.
