Warning

Iran warns that not even "tourist sites" worldwide are safe for its enemies

Iran’s military warned on Friday that “tourist sites, recreational areas, and leisure centers” worldwide are no longer safe for its enemies, referring to officials of the United States and Israel.

In a post published by the state-affiliated news outlet Tasnim, spokesperson of the Iranian army, Brigadier General Abolfazl Shekarchi, said that unlike Iranian officials who live among the people, Israeli and American officials have “hidden underground and in shelters or use civilians as human shields.”

“The time is not far when we will drag you out of your hiding places and shelters in humiliation and disgrace and make you face the consequences of your actions,” Shekarchi was cited as saying by Tasnim. “From now on, based on the information we possess about you, even tourist sites, recreational areas, and leisure centers around the world will not be safe for you,” he said.

Israel and the US have embarked on a decapitation campaign in Iran, assassinating key officials, many of whom are yet to be replaced.
