Statement from Khatam al-Anbiya spokesperson
A spokesperson for Tehran’s Khatam al-Anbiya military command headquarters said Iran would respond by targeting economic centres and banks linked to the United States and Israel in the region.
State media quoted Ebrahim Zolfaqari as saying, “Following their failed campaign, the terrorist U.S. army and cruel Zionist regime (Israel) have targeted one of the country’s banks.”
He added, “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.”
Public warning
The spokesperson warned people in the region to stay 1,000 metres away from banks.
