Iran Guards say they will target U.S. tech firms if more leaders killed
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps named 18 US tech firms as targets, warning of retaliatory strikes starting April 1 over alleged roles in US-Israeli assassinations.
- 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.

- 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.
