Investing.com -- Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi called on Bulgaria to reverse its decision allowing temporary deployment of U.S. military aircraft at the Bezmer air base, Iranian state media reported on Thursday.
Iran has repeatedly warned countries allowing their territory to be used for U.S. military operations against it that they could "face consequences."
Araqchi held a separate phone call with Cypriot Foreign Minister Constantinos Kombos, stressing the importance of preventing foreign military bases in Cyprus from being used against Iran.
Sofia said no offensive weapons would be deployed and that the move did not make Bulgaria a party to military operations.
