The warning was reportedly issued by a spokesperson for Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters, which the United Nations has described as being linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
The spokesperson said the threat followed what Iran described as an attack on one of its banks.
“The enemy left our hands open to targeting economic centres and banks belonging to the United States and the Zionist regime in the region,” the spokesperson said.
He also warned civilians to avoid such locations, advising people not to remain within a one-kilometre radius of banks.
