Iran’s Araqchi presses European counterparts over use of bases in US operations

DUBAI: Iran’s Foreign ‌Minister Abbas Araqchi urged Bulgaria to reconsider its decision to allow the temporary deployment of US military aircraft at ​the Bezmer air base, Iranian state media reported on Thursday. During a phone call with his Bulgarian counterpart, Velislava Petrova-Chamova, Araqchi said Sofia’s approval of a US request to station military aircraft at the base to support military operations amounted to facilitating aggression against Iran, adding the ‌move was ‌unacceptable and contrary to ​the traditionally ‌friendly ⁠relations between ​the ⁠two countries.
