Iran's joint military command says that banks and financial institutions are now a target in the Middle East

On Wednesday, Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters warned that banks and financial institutions are now targets, advising people to stay 1,000 metres away from banks in the Middle East.
Following reported hits on banking facilities in Tehran and Beirut, Tehran's military command responded after Israeli‑American airstrikes killed bank staff and Israel bombed a Beirut building linked to Al‑Qard Al‑Hassan on Monday.
Iranian drones struck near Dubai International Airport, wounding four while a projectile hit a container ship in the Strait of Hormuz, setting it ablaze and forcing the crew to abandon ship.
Many foreign nationals are fleeing the region, including over 45,000 U.K. citizens, as Iran's threat raises concerns for Dubai and other financial hubs, with a Wednesday vote on a GCC resolution.
On Wednesday, the IRGC‑affiliated Tasnim news agency listed offices of top US companies with Israeli links as 'Iran's new targets', following Iran’s efforts to pressure the U.S. and Israel. The attacks have effectively halted most cargo traffic through the Strait of Hormuz.
