Iran Threatens US-Owned Companies Amid Rising Tensions
Iran has issued a threat against 18 US-owned companies, including major corporations such as Meta and JP Morgan. The warning was disseminated through the IRGC-linked Tasnim News Agency, indicating potential targeting of these companies as early as 8 p.m. in Iran on Wednesday. The Pentagon, White House, and most of the companies listed, including Dell, Cisco, Intel, and HP, have not responded to requests for comment, while JPMorgan and Microsoft have declined to comment. The IRGC statement advised workers to avoid their workplaces and the surrounding area within a one-kilometer radius. This threat follows similar warnings regarding US-owned companies' infrastructure in Israel. The US has advised its citizens to reconsider travel to parts of the Middle East, including the United Arab Emirates, due to the threat of armed conflict and terrorism.
