A video released by ISIS on Thursday threatens new attacks in France, Italy, the United States and beyond.
The video features two suspected ISIS fighters threatening to blow up the White House and launch more attacks on Paris. One fighter mentions a "conquest of Rome," reports CNN.
The Vatican's St. Peter's Square was recently featured on the cover of the terror group's online magazine.
Italy has responded to the video and magazine by beefing up security in Rome and the Vatican, with 1,000 members of the army being deployed around the country.
The U.S. Embassy in Rome is urging Americans visiting Italy to remain vigilant and aware of their surroundings amid the latest ISIS threats. It warns that St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, as well as Milan's Duomo and La Scala, could be terrorist targets.
The Embassy warns that "general" venues such as houses of worship, restaurants, theaters and hotels in Rome and Milan could be targeted.
Wednesday, the terror group released a video warning of an impending attack on New York City.
The video mentions Times Square and purports to show an explosive device being put together and a bomber zipping his jacket over a suicide belt.
Mayor Bill de Blasio encouraged New Yorkers to go about their normal business.
"The people of New York City will not be intimidated," he said late Wednesday. "We understand it is the goal of terrorists to intimidate and disrupt our democratic society. We will not submit to their wishes."
