The United States is constructing a new embassy in Lebanon, covering 43 acres, which is projected to be the second largest embassy in the world. The facility is located in a country comparable in size and population to Yorkshire or Connecticut, but with a significantly smaller economy. Observers have raised concerns about the true purpose of this structure, suggesting it may serve as a fortified military base rather than a conventional diplomatic mission. Speculations include the potential for secret prisons, espionage activities in the region, and operational capabilities for flights to Cyprus. Analysts suggest that the base is intended to enhance U.S. influence in the Levant, which encompasses Palestine, Lebanon, Jordan, and Syria.
