US Forces Issue Urgent Safety Warning to Iranian Civilians ⚠️

The US Central Command (CENTCOM) has issued a critical safety advisory for civilians in Iran, citing the Iranian regime's use of densely populated areas for military operations. • Military Activity: The Iranian regime is reportedly utilizing cities such as Dezful, Esfahan, and Shiraz to launch ballistic missiles and one-way attack drones. • Legal Implications: CENTCOM noted that under international law, civilian locations used for military purposes lose their protected status and may become legitimate targets. • Regional Impact: Since February 28, Iran has launched hundreds of missiles and thousands of drones, targeting civilian infrastructure including airports, hotels, and residential neighborhoods across the Middle East. • Operational Status: While launch rates have "drastically declined" due to US and partner interventions, CENTCOM urges civilians to stay at home as they cannot guarantee safety near regime-controlled military facilities. Based on official CENTCOM statements as of March 9, 2026.
