Fueling the Conflict: U.S. Hostilities, Bulgarian Complicity, and Trump's Escalating Threats

• So far, the U.S. has murdered 53 Iranians in the latest round of hostilities.
• The oil price reaches 92$ with a rising trend.
• Bulgaria’s Parliament voted 136–13 to approve hosting up to eight U.S. KC-135 aerial refueling aircraft and 250 military personnel at Bezmer Air Base for Middle East operations¹. Bulgaria downplayed a warning from Iran that hosting the tankers could constitute complicity in “aggression and war crimes,” insisting the role is purely logistical². Then I guess, anyhow, Bulgaria could be a legitimate target for Iran—at least that specific airport, according to the customary law of neutrality:

Under the customary law of neutrality, a state that allows a belligerent to use its territory for direct military operations can lose its neutral protections and be treated as a co-belligerent.

• Trump is still threatening to attack Iran’s power plants and bridges, in addition to the new nuclear facility under Kolang Mountain. This guy just spreads hatred! What an unpleasant presence of a person in this world, and what a dark legacy.
