"The IRGC has identified private-sector technology infrastructure as the mechanism through which, it alleges, the United States has been locating and killing senior Iranian officials. The statement declared that American ICT and AI companies are 'the key element in designing and tracking terror targets,' and that 'for every assassination and terrorist act in Iran, one facility or unit belonging to these companies will face destruction.'"
"The threat is extraordinary in its specificity. Rather than targeting military installations or government buildings, the IRGC has named 18 US firms, including Microsoft, Apple, and Nvidia, as legitimate targets."
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps identified 18 major US technology companies as legitimate targets in response to their involvement in American and Israeli operations in Iran. This list includes prominent firms like Apple, Microsoft, and Nvidia. The IRGC's statement emphasized that these companies are crucial in tracking and executing operations against Iranian officials. An evacuation warning was issued for employees near these firms in the Middle East, highlighting the seriousness of the threat against private-sector technology infrastructure.
