Iran will target economic and banking interests linked to the US and Israel in the region, a spokesperson of the country’s Khatam ol Anbia joint command says, adding that this threat follows an attack on an Iranian bank.
“Following their failed campaign, the terrorist US army and cruel Zionist regime have targeted one of the country’s banks,” state media quotes Ebrahim Zolfaqari as saying. “With this illegitimate and uncommon action, the enemy is forcing our hand to target economic centers and banks linked to the US and Zionist regime in the region.”
The spokesperson warns people of the region to stay away from banks.
