Iran threatened Friday to start targeting tourist sites worldwide — just as spring break kicked off across the United States.
Iranian military spokesman Gen. Abolfazl Shekarchi blasted out the chilling warning on state TV as he vowed that popular tourism havens would no longer be safe for Tehran’s enemies.
“From now on, based on the information we have about you, even parks, recreational areas, and tourist destinations anywhere in the world will no longer be safe for you,” the military official said.
He stopped short of naming specific vacation destinations that could be in Iran’s line of fire.
The threats, which came as spring breakers descended across the US, renewed fears that Tehran could potentially revert to using militant attacks beyond the Middle East as a pressure tactic.
The Department of Homeland Security and the FBI have already indicated they are on high alert after the US-Israeli strikes on Iran kick-started the war three weeks ago.
Iran’s fresh warning came after US officials said three more warships and roughly 2,500 additional Marines were being deployed to the Middle East.

Iran threatens ‘zero restraint’ if US makes good on Trump’s ultimatum to ‘obliterate’ power plants
Iran has been a threat to the entire West since 1979. People just ignored the reality hoping it would go away. Netanyahu was a lone wolf calling the world’s leaders to nip this Islamofascist regime in the bud but everyone kicked the can down the road...except Pres. Trump.
The hour is at and to rid the planet once and for all from the Islamic fanatics. Just do it.
Let’s play “What If”
What if Trump hadn’t talked about blowing up power plants before he did it?
I think he should have done it that way. Maybe the businessman in him needs to take over the politician more often. Calculate the risks, DJT.
Please tell e I’m wrong and explain why/how. Thx
I think Trump wanted to expose the mullahs for how crazy they are. It makes people more likely to believe that Iran would use a nuke if they had it.
The death cult is breaking cover.
Trump is not “causing”, just revealing what is already there.
Well said, and accurate.
Is there any doubt that Iran was going to strike first once they had acquired the balistic missiles and it was apparent that they had them. Iran should have beeen wiped out long ago. thank you , Jimmy carter
“Iran threatens ‘zero restraint’ if US makes good on Trump’s ultimatum to ‘obliterate’ power plants”
These clowns don’t have much ammo left in their pop guns
The Ayatollahs are the Duke Nukems of the Middle East. Once they get nukes they get to make world class threats. Not the punk ones we see now.
True. But they have nearly 50 years of an indoctrinated population. I worry about that more than the pop guns
Well, minus of course the 36 odd thousand that apparently weren’t indoctrinated.
Nuke them already. There is no place in this world with them.
I agree....we in the west are so busy “riding off to take the air” we don’t realize the dark intentions of the historically “conquer and murder and forced repressive” religion that exists on earth.
Got a huge 47 year old terrorist network. We gotta get guns to the Persians. Matches, and gasoline, or some other flammable hydrocarbon would be very useful. Machetes, swords,daggers, clubs, bats....there are about 50 million Persians in Iran. Plus other ethnic groups. Going to get very violent when the Iranian military assets are close to zero.
So glad this nation finally elected a real man.
“But they have nearly 50 years of an indoctrinated population.”
So why did they have to slaughter tens of thousands of protesters?
