The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has issued a comprehensive warning against large American companies, mainly technology ones, accusing them of supporting “terrorist operations.” The IRGC announces that the headquarters of these companies will be attacked from April 1 from 8 p.m. Tehran time – Sky News reports, citing Iranian state media.
The list includes some of the world's largest corporations – among others Cisco, HP, Intel, Oracle, Microsoft, Apple, Google, Meta, IBM, Dell, Nvidia, Tesla, Boeing and several Gulf-based cybersecurity firms. The IRGC said every company should expect retaliation “for any assassination target” in Iran.
In an announcement sent on the public Telegram channel, the IRGC said that American companies were involved in supporting attack plans in Iran. The statement asked employees of the companies mentioned to evacuate their workplaces and advised residents within a one-kilometer radius of these facilities to leave the area.
As the IRGC explains, the strikes are intended to be a response to recent attacks by the US and Israel, in which, according to Iran, many civilians were killed. Washington was accused of ignoring repeated warnings to halt what Tehran calls “terrorist operations.”
“You ignored our repeated warnings about the need to halt terrorist operations, and today, as a result of the terrorist attacks carried out by you and your Israeli allies, many Iranian citizens were martyred. Since the main element in planning and tracking the targets of the attacks are American ICT and AI companies, in response to these terrorist operations, from now on, the main institutions actually involved in terrorist operations will be considered our legitimate targets,” reads the IRGC statement, quoted by Sky News.
