Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has issued a warning to major American technology, industrial, and financial firms as potential targets amid an intensifying conflict with the United States and Israel.
In a statement, circulated by Iranian media, the IRGC urged employees and nearby residents in the Middle East ahead of the planned retaliation attack.
“We advise the employees of these institutions to immediately leave their workplaces to preserve their lives. Residents around these terrorist companies in all countries of the region should also leave their area within a one-kilometer radius and move to a safe place,” the statement read.

According to the IRGC, key institutions linked to information and communications technology and artificial intelligence play a central role in what it termed “terrorist operations” against Iran.

The list reportedly includes major U.S. firms such as Microsoft, Apple, Google, Intel, Cisco, HP, Oracle, Meta, IBM, Dell, Palantir, Nvidia, Tesla, General Electric, J.P. Morgan, Boeing, Spire Solutions, and G42.
