Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) on Tuesday said that they will target US companies in the region from April 1 in retaliation for attacks on Tehran, state media reported.
Among the 18 companies listed in the IRGC’s threat include Google, Microsoft, Apple, Intel, IBM, Tesla and Boeing, Reuters reported.
“These companies should expect the destruction of their respective units in exchange for each terror act in Iran, starting from 8 PM Tehran time on Wednesday, April 1st,” the IRGC statement added.
However, Revolutionary Guards did not name the specific countries where the Iranian military would launch their attacks.

Meanwhile, IRGC Aerospace Force commander Majid Moosavi threatened over the weekend that Iranian military would target chemical, oil and metals industries which are linked to Washington and Israel in the region.
Ina post on X, Moosavi wrote, “Retaliation for attacks on Iran’s infrastructure is being carried out through the destruction of strategic industries linked to the US-Israeli enemy in the region.”
The IRGC commander further added, “So far, a chemical industry in the occupied territories, a refinery, two steel complexes and two major aluminum complexes have been hit, and these painful attacks will continue until we see the pain in your eyes.”
