Iran has issued a chilling warning that it will attack civilian targets worldwide, including luxury resorts, as millions of Americans head off for spring break.
General Abolfazl Shekarchi warned that Israeli and US officials would not be safe after strikes wiped out Iran’s leadership, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
‘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,’ Shekarchi told Iranian state television.
The warning lands at peak spring break, with millions of US students heading to tourist hotspots at home and abroad.
The FBI and the Department of Homeland Security have already put their counterterrorism operations on ‘high alert’ for possible Iranian retaliation on US soil.
