Iran threatens to target Israeli and US universities
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps demands a U.S. condemnation of strikes on Iranian universities by March 30 or threatens attacks on American and Israeli campuses across West Asia.
- On Sunday, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps declared U.S. and Israeli universities 'legitimate targets' in the Middle East, giving Washington until noon today, March 30, to condemn alleged bombings of Iranian academic institutions.
- The IRGC's ultimatum followed alleged U.S.-Israeli strikes on the Isfahan University of Technology and the University of Science and Technology in Tehran, which Iranian officials claimed aimed to 'cripple our country's scientific foundation.'
- Following security concerns, AUB President Fadlo Khouri moved classes online for two days 'out of an abundance of caution,' while the IRGC advised students and staff to remain at least 1 kilometer away from campuses.
- Arkansas State University in Qatar, Georgetown University, and New York University shifted to remote operations, reflecting the immediate impact on academic partnerships in the Gulf amid escalating regional hostilities.
- The U.S. State Department maintains a Level 4 'Do Not Travel' warning for Iraq, cautioning that citizens remaining face 'significant risk' as regional conflicts increasingly jeopardize civilian institutions.
