šØIRAN ORDERS BANKS TO PREP FOR SYSTEM-WIDE COLLAPSEšØ
š¹A secret letter from Iran's Central Bank just leaked, and itās nothing but bad news.
š¹Every major bank has been told to enter full emergency mode immediately.
š¹The letter warns of attacks, blackouts, and āloss of controlā scenarios.
Banks are being ordered to secure their data, activate backup systems, and keep money moving even if everything collapses.
This isnāt a drill.
The directive is classified, urgent, and lays out exactly how to keep the financial system alive if the government falls apart.
This isnāt about regular protests.
Their panic shows theyāre expecting something far worse.
Theyāre prepping for a meltdown where cities go dark, systems crash, and people panic.
When banks start planning for survival, it means something serious is coming.š
