Iran says hotels housing US soldiers in region will be targeted

Iran's military has warned that hotels housing US soldiers across the region would be targets in its war with the United States and Israel.

"When all the Americans (forces) go into a hotel, then from our perspective that hotel becomes American," armed forces spokesman Abolfazl Shekarchi told state television on Thursday. 

"Should we just stand by and let the Americans strike us? When we respond, naturally, we have to strike wherever they are."
