Iran may strike Bulgaria under certain conditions, the Financial Times reports.

In the event of an escalation by the United States, Iran is considering new targets for strikes outside the Middle East. Among the priorities are American facilities in Bulgaria, where Sofia has allowed the United States to use bases for refueling, the publication says. KC‑135 heavy tanker aircraft and about 250 American servicemen from the logistics forces arrived there.

According to the publication, the British air base in Cyprus, which the drone had already attacked in March, is also under the gun.

In addition, Tehran is exploring the possibility of strikes on underwater Internet cables in The Strait of Hormuz, which could paralyze global communications.

According to the report, the Iranian military has missiles with a range of up to 4,000 kilometers, which allows it to strike targets in cities such as London, Rome, Paris, Berlin and Ankara.
