Iran’s military has warned that banks and financial institutions linked to the United States and Israel in West Asia could become targets amid the escalating US-Iran conflict. The threat came after an airstrike reportedly hit an Iranian bank in Tehran, which Tehran blamed on the US and Israel. Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya military command said the attack on its financial infrastructure forced it to consider retaliation against economic centers in the region. Authorities also warned civilians to stay at least 1 kilometre away from banks due to possible attacks. The development signals a widening of the conflict, with financial institutions now potentially becoming strategic targets. (PC: X)
