FM Pledges Retaliation for US-Israeli Attack on Iran’s Oldest Bank

Writing on X on Wednesday, Araqchi slammed the US and Israel for their attack on another Iranian national infrastructure.

“This time, a branch of my country's oldest bank was bombed while full of employees. They were laboring to ensure Iranians have food on the table ahead of our New Year,” the minister said.

Bank Sepah has announced that the US and Israel carried out a missile attack on one of its buildings early Wednesday while its employees were carrying out their duties. 

It added that technical teams immediately started investigations into the case to settle problems caused by the attack.

The foreign minister added that Iran’s “powerful armed forces will exact retribution for this crime".
