Standard Chartered has started evacuating staff from its Dubai offices due to heightened security concerns following Iranian threats to target U.S. and Israeli banks in the region. This precautionary measure comes amid escalating tensions after attacks on Iran, which have led to missile strikes across the Middle East. The Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), where Standard Chartered operates, has become a significant financial hub since its establishment in 2004, attracting numerous international banks and financial firms.
