Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has threatened to attack “economic centres and banks” related to United States and Israeli entities in the region after what it called an attack on an Iranian bank, with the war in its 12th day.

It warned that “people of the region should not be within a one-kilometre radius of banks”.

“As the scope of the regional war expands to infrastructure war, the scope of Iran’s legitimate targets expands,” the agency said. The companies include Google, Microsoft, Palantir, IBM, Nvidia and Oracle, and the listed offices and infrastructure for cloud-based services are located in multiple Israeli cities, as well as in some Gulf countries, said Motamedi.

It’s not like they have a vested interest in the continuity of these western institutions. When you apply a maximum pressure sanctions campaign against Iran, guess what!? Their economy is not tied up in your economy. They could give a fuck. Especially after you bombed them first (twice!). Especially after you unilaterally withdraw from a treaty with them.
