🇮🇷💻 IRAN DECLARES "LEGITIMATE TARGETS" ON GOOGLE, APPLE, MICROSOFT, TESLA, BOEING AND 13 OTHER U.S. COMPANIES: WARNS THAT ATTACKS BEGIN THIS WEDNESDAY
🏢 Iran's Revolutionary Guard declared 18 American tech and corporate giants as "legitimate targets": Google, Microsoft, Apple, Meta, Amazon, Intel, Nvidia, Tesla, Boeing, IBM, Oracle, Palantir, Cisco, HP, Dell, JPMorgan, General Electric, and Spire Solutions. The warning includes possible attacks on their facilities in the region starting this Wednesday at 8:00 PM Tehran time.
Iran's justification: these companies have ties to Israel and their technology is used for military purposes. "As the scope of regional war expands to an infrastructure war, the scope of Iran's legitimate targets expands," stated the Tasnim agency, linked to the Revolutionary Guard.
This is not just rhetoric. Iran has already attacked Amazon Web Services data centers in the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, causing disruptions in banking services, payments, and digital platforms across the region. The offices and infrastructure of these companies are located in Israeli cities and Gulf countries.
🏦 The escalation arose after Israel bombed a branch of Sepah Bank in Tehran, killing several employees. Iran described the attack as "an illegitimate and unusual act in war" and responded that it "opened their hands" to attack economic centers in the U.S. and Israel.
📢 The Revolutionary Guard urged the population in the region not to approach within one kilometer of banks linked to these countries.
