Iran has announced that any hotel or facility utilized by US troops in the area is considered a “valid target.” The state-affiliated Fars News Agency of Iran stated on Telegram that US forces are not only stationed in Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates but also in other countries at different bases and centers.
According to the report, various locations in three countries have been identified where US personnel are stationed or foreign experts gather, including spots in Lebanon and Syria, such as the prestigious Four Seasons Hotel Damascus, along with an airport in Djibouti.
The Fars News Agency emphasized on Thursday that any establishment hosting foreign military personnel, regardless of its location, will be seen as a legitimate target. This warning from Iran followed US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff’s confirmation of sending a peace proposal to Tehran and ongoing talks, amid continued US-Israeli attacks on Iran.
The Fars News Agency highlighted the Four Seasons Hotel Damascus in Syria as a gathering point for foreign specialists, while also mentioning the Sheraton Damascus and the Presidential Palace in Syria as meeting spots for Israeli, American, and British advisers.
In Lebanon, a US logistics base near the old Beirut airport is reportedly active, with troops and equipment stationed there. In Djibouti, US Marines were said to be transferred to Djibouti-Ambouli International Airport, where they are currently based, as per the report.
The statement concluded that any establishment hosting foreign military personnel will be considered a legitimate target by Iran if the practice is not ceased. The Fars News Agency is linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and often reflects Iranian regime positions in its reports.
This development comes as casualties rise from Israeli strikes in Lebanon, with numerous deaths reported and many people displaced. Additionally, deaths among Israeli and US service members have been recorded, along with civilian casualties in the Gulf region.
