Iran’s elite military force, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), has issued a strong warning, threatening to target 18 major global companies, including Tesla, Google, and Microsoft.
In a message shared on Telegram, the group accused what it described as the “American ruling establishment” and its allied intelligence-linked companies of ignoring repeated warnings to halt alleged hostile operations. The IRGC claimed that recent attacks carried out in collaboration with Israel led to the deaths of several Iranian citizens.
According to the statement, the listed companies should expect retaliatory action, with the group warning that their operations could be targeted in response to what it called assassinations inside Iran. The threat reportedly included a specific timeline, stating that actions could begin from 8 p.m. Tehran time on Wednesday.
The development adds to growing global tension linked to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, raising concerns about the potential expansion of hostilities beyond state actors to include major multinational corporations.
Security analysts say such threats, even if not immediately actionable, could heighten fears in global markets and among tech firms, especially as geopolitical tensions continue to escalate.
