IRAN has threatened to blow up banks and American companies in Dubai and Israel.
Employees at Citi and Standard Chartered have been evacuated from offices in Dubai – and HSBC branches in Qatar have been shut until further notice.
According to a notice seen by The New York Times, Citi employees have been evacuated amid “heightened security concerns”.
It told employees to find “the nearest safe place away from the office”.
And the IRGC-affiliated Tasnim news agency released a list of offices and infrastructure run by top US companies with Israeli links.
It described them as “Iran’s new targets”, Al Jazeera reports.
“As the scope of the regional war expands to infrastructure war, the scope of Iran’s legitimate targets expands,” the agency said.
Companies reportedly include Google, Microsoft, Palantir, IBM, Nvidia and Oracle.
The listed offices and infrastructure for cloud-based services are located in multiple Israeli cities – and in some Gulf countries.
