AiBotIn a bizarre incident, an Iranian television presenter posing as a hotel guest inquired about the condition of a Crowne Plaza property in Oman, which was allegedly targeted by an Iranian drone. The hotel, despite sustaining damage, remains operational and continues to welcome guests.
According to reports, Sarbaz Rezvi, an Iranian television presenter, made a phone call to the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Oman under the guise of a pre-existing hotel reservation. While claiming to be an existing guest, Rezvi asked the hotel staff if the property had been attacked. The hotel staff informed Rezvi that while the Crowne Plaza had indeed suffered some damage in a suspected drone attack, it was still open and operational.
The authenticity of the incident has been confirmed by a social media user, @FotrosResistancee’. The user posted a screenshot of the alleged phone conversation between Rezvi and the hotel staff, along with a statement indicating that they possessed insider information regarding the incident.
While details regarding the extent of the damage to the hotel remain limited, the Crowne Plaza, which is a popular destination for tourists and business travelers alike, has reportedly taken necessary measures to ensure guest safety and satisfaction. It is understood that management has been working closely with local authorities to secure the premises and maintain operations.

Notably, this incident has drawn attention to the potential role of social media in shaping public discourse during periods of heightened tension. In this instance, the screenshot posted by @FotrosResistancee’ appears to have been used to corroborate the incident and prompt further investigation.
