Iran's worldwide threat

IRAN has threatened to target recreational and tourist sites worldwide and insisted it was still building missiles.

The show of defiance yesterday came nearly three weeks into US-Israeli strikes that have killed a number of Tehran’s top leaders and hammered its weapons and energy industries.

Iran fired on Israel and energy sites in neighbouring Gulf Arab states as many in the region marked one of the holiest days on the Muslim calendar.

Iranians were also marking the Persian new year, known as Nowruz, a normally festive holiday that is more subdued this year.
