Iran conducted a very good hybrid operation, unfortunately, supported by opposition Bulgarian politicians. We see what the result is. This hybrid operation will continue. This was said by Defense Minister Dimitar Stoyanov before the start of today's extraordinary session of the Defense Committee, quoted by Dariknews.bg.
"There should be much greater responsibility among Bulgarian politicians when they comment irresponsibly on such positions from the Iranian side," he also said.
The US Air Force tanker planes left Bulgaria as planned and for which we have preliminary information, Stoyanov said, after being asked whether the planes had really left our country. "There is a pace to the operation and it is being followed. "This information simply could not have been shared with the Bulgarian society," he pointed out.
