Banks, financial institutions in Gulf countries are our ‘targets’ – Iran
Iran’s Joint Military Command said on Wednesday that banks and financial institutions are now our targets in the Middle East.
Iran is also targeting banks and financial institutions in Gulf countries after Iranian media reported that a bank employee in Tehran was killed in a joint airstrike by Israel and the United States.
The Iranian threat is particularly threatening Dubai, which is home to many international financial institutions.
An unidentified drone was spotted near the strategic Strait of Hormuz, which borders Iran, on Wednesday. A missile hit a cargo ship, causing it to catch fire. The crew on board was later evacuated safely.
An unidentified missile also struck a second container ship off the coast of the UAE.
