Iran threatened to target banks and other economic sites linked to the US and Israel in the region, according to Al Jazeera on March 11.
A spokesperson for the Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters, which the UN describes as being owned by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, issued the warning.
He stated that “the enemy left our hands open to targeting economic centres and banks belonging to the United States and the Zionist regime in the region.”

The envoy also warned that “people of the region should not be within a one-kilometre radius of banks.” Al Jazeera reported that Iran framed the threat as retaliation for US-Israeli attacks.
Tasnim, an outlet affiliated with the IRGC, also published a list of offices and infrastructure tied to major US technology companies with Israeli links.
It described them as “Iran’s new targets.” The report includes Google, Microsoft, Palantir, IBM, Nvidia, and Oracle.
The listed sites include offices and cloud infrastructure in several Israeli cities and in some Gulf countries. Tasnim wrote that “as the scope of the regional war expands to infrastructure war, the scope of Iran’s legitimate targets expands.”

At the same time, US President Donald Trump warned Iran that any attempt to block oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz would trigger US military strikes “at a level never seen before,” and far stronger than previous actions.
He made the threat as tensions around the strait intensified and reports circulated that Iran could try to mine or otherwise disrupt the waterway, a critical route for global oil and gas exports.
The report declared the warning came as governments and markets monitored the risk of broader shipping disruption, with allies also discussing protective measures for commercial traffic if the situation deteriorates further.
