US-Israeli War Against Iran Enters Third Week, Threats Intensify

The US-Israeli war against Iran has now entered its third week — with Tehran continuing to launch retaliatory strikes across the Middle East. Energy prices have skyrocketed as the Strait of Hormuz remains under blockade and multiple Gulf facilities shut down. Thousands have been evacuated from the region as both Iran and the United States threaten to intensify their attacks. The Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has warned that attacks against American bank branches operating in the Gulf region could expand if further strikes by the US and Israel target Iranian banking infrastructure. Press TV quoted officials as saying that Iran had struck American bank branches across the Gulf in response to US-Israeli strikes on Iranian bank properties earlier this week. Spokesman Ali Mohammad Naeini reportedly told Sepah News that all US bank branches operating in the region will become legitimate targets for Iran if "the enemy repeats its mistake" and carries out similar attacks on Iranian banks.
