Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has threatened to target United States tech companies operating in the Middle East.
A statement issued by the IRGC-affiliated Tasnim news agency
on Tuesday listed around 20 companies that would be considered “legitimate
military targets”, including Boeing, Tesla, Meta, HP, Microsoft, Google, and
Apple.
“Since the main element in designing and tracking terrorist
targets are American and ICT and AI companies … from now on, [these] main
institutions will be our legitimate targets,” the statement reads.
The IRGC urged employees and people living nearby to
evacuate immediately.
The attacks are scheduled from 8pm local time on Wednesday
if more Iranian leaders are killed in “targeted assassinations”, the Iranian
military said.
Earlier, Israel’s army said it has conducted more than 230
strikes across Iran in the last 24 hours, in what it described as a systematic
campaign to degrade Iranian military capacity.
Iran has repeatedly accused Israel and the US of targeting
civilian infrastructure.
The Islamic Republic had previously threatened to target US
and Israeli academic institutions in the region after recent air strikes
against the Isfahan University of Technology and Tehran’s Iran University of
Science and Technology.
The planned attacks come after weeks of Iranian strikes
against US military bases in the Middle East.
