Iran says it will target financial institution linked to US
Iran will target economic and banking interests linked to the U.S. and Israel in the region, after an attack on an Iranian bank, a spokesperson for Tehran's Khatam al-Anbiya military command headquarters.
An administrative building linked to Bank Sepah, one of the country's largest public banks and with historical links to the military, was hit overnight in Tehran, according to the semi-official Mehr news agency.
"With this illegitimate and uncommon action, the enemy is forcing our hand to target economic centres and banks linked to the U.S. and Zionist regime in the region," according to a statement.
The spokesperson with knowledge to the statement warned people of the region to stay 1,000 metres away from banks.
