๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ทโš”๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ฌโšก๏ธIRAN WARNS BULGARIA OVER POSSIBLE U.S. AIRCRAFT DEPLOYMENT

The Iranian spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, reacting to reports about the United States' request to deploy its military aircraft at the "Bezmer" air base in Bulgaria, stated: "Any cooperation in attacks against Iran will be considered, from an international law perspective, as complicity in an act of aggression and a war crime.

Allowing a country's territory to be used for military action against a third country is, according to UN General Assembly Resolution 3314, a form of aggression.

Iran will not hesitate to defend its national interests and security against any act of mischief or aggression, and any party that participates in any way in a military act of aggression against Iran must be held accountable for its consequences."

โ€”๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น/๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ฑ Italian security activity increases near Albania's Port of Durrรซs

โžก๏ธ Italian security activity has been observed around Albania's Port of Durrรซs, with reports showing a convoy of Italian Carabinieri and Guardia di Finanza vehicles transiting the port on 21 July under police traffic coordination. Vehicles bearing KFOR markings were also seen entering the port area.

โžก๏ธ In recent weeks, repeated flights by a Guardia di Finanza ATR-72 maritime surveillance aircraft, occasionally supported by AW139 helicopters flying at low altitude over Albania, have also been recorded.

โžก๏ธ No official link between these activities has been confirmed. Plausible explanations include logistical movements supporting NATO's KFOR mission in Kosovo through the Port of Durrรซs, or intensified Italy-Albania cooperation targeting smuggling networks and other cross-border crime.

At present, there is no evidence of an extraordinary deployment.
