## Bulgarian Politicians React to Iranian Attack on Israel
Several high-ranking Bulgarian politicians have expressed their views on the recent Iranian attack against Israel.
"I strongly condemn Iran's unacceptable missile and drone attack on Israel. Immediate de-escalation in the Middle East and the establishment of a lasting peace is necessary."
"I strongly condemn Iran’s reckless missile and drone attack against Israel on Saturday night."
"We consider the attack irresponsible and unjustified, dangerous for peace and security in the entire region."
