Hotels in regional countries accepting U.S. soldiers will be targets, Iran warns
Iran has issued a “decisive” warning to hotel owners in regional countries, especially Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), to refrain from accepting U.S. military personnel.
Local media reports cited the Iranian armed forces, saying that otherwise the regional countries would become legitimate targets.
The report said some surviving U.S. personnel have taken refuge in hotels in regional countries, including Bahrain and the UAE.
This happened following missile strikes and joint operations by Iran and allied resistance groups that damaged U.S. military infrastructure in West Asia, the report added.
The hotels and civilian places used by the U.S. military personnel are not limited to those in Bahrain and the UAE, it said.
It added that substitute bases and places sheltering foreign forces have also been detected in other regional states.
The U.S. Marines have been transferred to Djibouti’s international airport and deployed to the region, said the report.
