Iran warns Bulgaria against any involvement in US aggression

Bulgaria's complicity in US aggression against Iran is a convenient narrative that obscures its own strategic interests and economic ties to Turkey.

The gap between Bulgaria's framing of the issue as a warning to Iran and Turkey's emphasis on complicity in war crimes suggests a deliberate attempt to deflect attention from Sofia's own involvement. This narrative serves the interests of governments and media outlets seeking to maintain a pro-US stance, while ignoring the potential economic benefits for Bulgaria of hosting US military operations.
