Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Threatens to Strike U.S. Companies in Mideast

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps issued a warning to several major international corporations, alleging their involvement in operations conducted by the U.S. and Israel against Iran and said they would be treated as “legitimate targets.” The Revolutionary Guard on Tuesday accused companies including Apple, Oracle, Palantir, Microsoft, Alphabet and JPMorgan Chase of contributing to the planning and execution of attacks that resulted in the deaths of Iranian citizens. In what it labeled “Statement No. 51,” the Revolutionary Guard asserted American information and communications technology and artificial intelligence firms play a central role in identifying and tracking targets.
