Iran’s military has vowed to target economic facilities belonging to the United States and Israel across the region, including banks, as tensions in the ongoing Middle East conflict continue to intensify.
According to a statement from Iran’s central military command, Khatam Al-Anbiya, the country may launch strikes against economic centers linked to the United States and Israel following reports that an Iranian bank was hit during overnight attacks.
The command said the attacks on Iranian infrastructure had effectively given the military “free rein” to strike back at what it described as economic targets belonging to the United States and what it called the “Zionist regime.”
Iranian authorities also issued a public warning urging civilians across the region to stay at least one kilometer away from banks, suggesting such locations could become potential targets in the expanding conflict.
Local Iranian media reported that US and Israeli strikes hit a bank in Tehran overnight, killing an unspecified number of employees working at the facility.
The latest threat marks another escalation in the conflict involving Iran, the United States, and Israel, which has already triggered widespread instability across the Middle East.
Military analysts warn that targeting economic infrastructure could significantly expand the scope of the war, potentially affecting financial institutions and commercial operations across multiple countries in the region.
As the situation continues to develop, the escalating rhetoric and threats from both sides highlight the growing risk that the conflict could spread further beyond its current battlefield.
Authorities in the region have yet to provide additional details on potential countermeasures or security steps to protect financial institutions and civilian infrastructure.
