Iran threatens international tourist sites as war with U.S. and Israel deepens

In a stark message on Friday, Iran’s top military spokesperson, Gen. Abolfazl Shekarchi, said that “parks, recreational areas and tourist destinations” linked to Tehran’s enemies would no longer be safe. The threat came as Iranian forces continued to fire on Israel and on energy infrastructure in Gulf Arab states, even as Iran itself remained under sustained U.S.–Israeli airstrikes.
