flag Lebanon’s army now fully controls Hamat Air Base, debunking claims it’s a U.S. facility.

flag Lebanon’s Defense Minister Michel Menassa confirmed on February 25, 2026, that the Hamat Air Base is fully under Lebanese Army control, operating under national laws and regulations. flag He denied claims by Iran’s Al-Alam TV that the base functions as a U.S. military facility, stating foreign training teams are present only under Lebanese military rules. flag The base, along with Beirut and Rayak air bases, serves as a designated entry point for military aid delivered through official cooperation agreements and monitored by Lebanese authorities. flag The clarification follows heightened regional tensions, a recent security incident involving U.S. personnel, and concerns over potential conflict involving Iran, the U.S., or Israel.
