Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has threatened U.S. tech companies with attacks. The list includes Apple, Nvidia, Microsoft, and Google, among others. The IRGC stated that, starting at 8 p.m. Tehran time on Wednesday, April 1, it will begin targeting these companies in retaliation for what it describes as further assassinations carried out by the U.S. and its allies.
The Guard warned on Tuesday that 18 tech companies would be considered as “legitimate targets” in retaliation for U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran.
“From now on, for every assassination, an American company will be destroyed,” they said in an Guard-affiliated Telegram channel.
Attacks on those companies would begin from 8 p.m. on Wednesday, April 1, Tehran time (12:30 p.m. EDT), the Guard said in a post on Telegram translated by Google, warning employees at those companies to leave workplaces immediately to protect their lives.
The list of companies also featured Cisco, HP, Intel, Oracle, IBM, Dell, Palantir, JPMorgan, Tesla, GE, Spire Solutions, Boeing, and UAE-based artificial intelligence company G42.
MacDailyNews Note: In response, President Trump said on Tuesday, “What did they [Iran] threaten them with, BB guns? They don’t have much left [with which] to threaten.”
Tonight, Wednesday, April 1, 2026, at 9pm ET, President Trump will give an Address to the Nation to provide an important update on Iran.
