“Since the beginning of this war, American soldiers have fled military bases in GCC countries [Conselho de Cooperação do Golfo] to hide in hotels and offices. They use citizens of GCC countries as human shields,” Araghchi wrote.
“Hotels in the US deny reservations to officials who could put customers in danger. Hotels in GCC countries should do the same,” he added.
Araghchi added to the post a print of an alleged email from the American hotel chain Hilton, from January, informing about the cancellation of a reservation for a guest (whose name is marked in the image) due to “information about immigration” raised in an “online investigation” carried out by the network.
The CCG, mentioned by the minister, is an economic cooperation organization that brings together Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates and Oman.
The semi-official Fars news agency was more explicit and reported on Thursday that Iran had issued “decisive” warnings to hotel owners in those countries to refuse to host US military personnel or become “legitimate targets” of Iranian forces.
