The former president of Romania, Traian Băsescu, expressed concerns in a Facebook post regarding the risk of Iran attacking American facilities deployed in Romania, especially the bases at Kogălniceanu and Câmpia Turzii. Băsescu believes that, although the decision to host American military equipment is correct for Romania's security, it does not eliminate the risks of attacks.


He emphasizes that Romania has the necessary equipment to respond, but cannot guarantee the elimination of all dangers. The former leader calls on the authorities to inform the population about precautionary measures in the event of attacks, suggesting that citizens should be prepared for emergencies. In the context of tensions in the Middle East, Băsescu appeals for a risk assessment, including terrorist and cyber attacks.
