Summary

  • Iran’s Revolutionary Guard told civilians in countries hosting U.S. troops to keep at least 500 meters away from American positions, framing the warning as a safety measure.
  • State media said the message was delivered in an interview on state television, where the IRGC referred to places “where American soldiers are hiding.”
  • The warning targets the broader Middle East rather than a single country, signaling heightened risk around U.S. military sites in the region.
