Iran has warned that tourist attractions, resorts and entertainment centres are ‘not protected’ for US and Israeli officials.
The Iranian Army said in an announcement shared today by the state-controlled Fars news agency that it’s ‘keeping an eye fixed’ on the ‘cowardly’ soldiers.
A senior spokesperson said that while Tehran’s officials and authorities live with the people, America and Israel’s ‘hide in underground bunkers’ and ‘use the people as a human shield’.
They added: ‘We’re monitoring your cowardly officials and commanders, your treacherous pilots and soldiers, and with our resolve, while continuing our powerful and crushing past attacks against you, the time won’t be long until we drag you out of your hiding places and shelters in disgrace and humiliation to punish you to your heinous actions.
‘Any longer, based on the data now we have on you, no place on the earth will probably be protected for you, not even amusement parks, recreational centres, and tourist resorts.’
The war erupted in late February after the US and Israel launched a punishing military campaign that killed Iran’s supreme leader, Ali Khamenei.
Iran has remained defiant in the next three weeks within the face of a war that has to date killed greater than 3,100 people across the Middle East.
Of them, around 1,300 were civilians, including at the least 210 children, in response to the US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency.
The realm’s latest leader and Khamenei’s son, Mojtaba Khamenei, said last week that he plans to avenge the death of his father and other Iranians.
While the war just isn’t a world one, it has had worldwide ramifications. An energy crisis has gripped the US, UK and other countries as Iran has prevented oil tankers from moving through the Strait of Hormuz.
The tight waterway sits on Iran’s southern coast and sees a fifth of the world’s oil flow through it.
With no ships capable of make the Gulf journey, oil prices edged higher to $111 a barrel today.
US warplanes and attack helicopters are launching attacks today in a bid to filter Iranian drones and naval vessels.
A minimum of 968 people have been killed in Israeli strikes since March 2, in response to Lebanese authorities.
Iraqi officials said 60 people, mainly members of the Shi’ite Popular Mobilisation Forces, have been killed.
In Israel, 15 civilians have died, in response to its emergency services. Thirteen US service members have been killed.
When the war will end – and even its end goal – is unclear, in response to analysts.
