US-Israeli economic, banking centers warned to be next targets
Washington sustained $25b losses in war: IRGC
The spokesperson for the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters warned on Wednesday that economic centers and banks belonging to the United States and Israel could become the next targets of Iranian strikes following Israel's decision to target an Iranian bank last night.
Ebrahim Zolfaghari said the United States and Israel carried out an attack on one of Iran’s banking facilities after failing to achieve their military objectives in the ongoing aggression against the country.
“With this illegitimate and unconventional action in war, the enemy has opened our hands to target economic centers and banks belonging to the United States and the Zionist regime in the region,” Zolfaghari added.
The spokesperson stressed that Washington should expect a painful retaliatory response.
“Americans should wait for our reciprocal and painful action,” he said, warning civilians in the region to stay away from potential targets.
“People in the region should not remain within a one-kilometer radius of banks,” Zolfaghari underlined.
The warning comes as the Public Relations Office of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has said the 37th wave of Operation “True Promise-4” was carried out with the most severe and heavy attacks against positions of aggressors.
The IRGC launched the heaviest attacks against the positions of the US and Israeli regime on the eve of the martyrdom anniversary of the first Shia Imam, Imam Ali (PBUH), using “Khorramshahr” missile.
The IRGC forces pounded the US bases in the region and IsraelI positions with highly-sophisticated missiles, in which, a satellite communications center in southern Tel Avivi was targeted for the second time.
In addition, the Iranian armed forces targeted the military centers in Haifa along with US Fifth Naval Base in Erbil of Iraq severely.
Meanwhile, the Intelligence Organization of the IRGC said the United States has sustained $25 billion losses as a result of US-Israeli aggression against Iran.
The management of the Strait of Hormuz has privileged Iran’s effectiveness in the economic equations in the worldwide, the IRGC said, adding that victorious battle of the Iranian Armed Forces has imposed more than $25 billion military cost for the enemy directly.
The US bases in the region have become "inactive" and the Europe’s gap with its historic ally has been revealed during the war, IRGC noted.
The US and Israel attacked Iran on February 28, which led to the martyrdom of Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, senior military commanders and civilians.
The US-Israeli aggression has damaged or destroyed around 13,000 civilian units so far, according to official figures.
