Bulgarian authorities have increased defensive measures due to concerns over potential Iranian attacks targeting US military facilities within its borders. The announcement came Wednesday, with officials stating they are closely monitoring the situation. These bolstered defenses include more extensive and intensive preventative measures. The move follows heightened regional tensions and potential retaliation from Iran. Bulgaria hosts US military personnel as part of a NATO presence. Officials have not specified the exact nature of the increased security protocols, but emphasize a proactive approach to safeguarding US assets and national security. The country remains vigilant and prepared for potential escalation.
