Bulgaria will ask parliament to approve the deployment of up to eight U.S. tanker aircraft at the Bezmer military base to support U.S. operations in the Middle East. The move follows controversy over previously stationing the aircraft at a civilian airport near Sofia without parliamentary approval. The request comes as U.S.-Iran tensions continue to escalate.
