Iran Guards say they will target U.S. tech firms if more leaders killed
The Guard said the firms aided surveillance and targeting, and it warned employees and nearby residents to evacuate before reprisals begin.
- On Tuesday, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps declared 18 American companies as "legitimate targets," setting a reprisal deadline for eight p.m. Tehran time on Wednesday, April 1.
- Accusing these firms of aiding "terrorist operations," the IRGC claims they are the "primary element in designing and tracking assassination targets" for US-Israeli attacks inside Iran.
- Named firms include Microsoft, Apple, Google, and Boeing, with the IRGC warning employees to "immediately distance themselves from their workplaces" and urging residents within a one-kilometer radius to evacuate.
- With offices in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar, the presence of these firms across the Gulf creates immediate risks to personnel and infrastructure if threats are enacted.
- This follows February 2025 sanctions against Jamshid Eshaghi for allegedly funding Tehran-backed proxies; the firm designations signal escalating Iranian targeting of Western corporate operations amid ongoing regional conflict.
