Iran’s military on Wednesday vowed to strike US and Israeli banks and economic centres in the region, after overnight attacks hit a bank in Tehran.
“Last night, the American and Zionist terrorist army, after failing in their military objectives, targeted one of the country’s banks,” a spokesperson for the military’s central operational command, Khatam al-Anbiya.
“People in the region should not be within a one kilometre radius of the banks.”



I have a theory they’re being conservative in how they handle this because they don’t want to give other Western powers justification for joining the war (justification, not reason); America and Israel are extremely unpopular right now, and joining a war of aggression on their side (one with zero plausibly deniable excuses) is the end of your political career. They’re trying to normalize the idea that they may have to join the army and fight Russia and that’s already unpopular enough, this has zero chance of being widely accepted.
