Criticism of the Ministry of Defense
Instead of the responsible Deputy Minister of Defense being at NATO for urgent consultations, the government is limiting itself to vague security measures around the Bezmer airbase, claims Ivaylo Mirchev.
The cabinet's inadequate reactions make Bulgaria look timid and unprepared in the face of hybrid warfare.
The threat according to the "Financial Times"
- Iran is assessing options for strikes against US assets in Southeast Europe.
- Bulgaria has come into focus due to the use of the Bezmer base for the needs of the US Air Force.
- Defense Minister Dimitar Stoyanov reassures that there is no immediate threat to national security.
According to Mirchev, the Foreign Ministry should have long ago demanded an explanation from the Iranian ambassador regarding the provocations towards our country.
