Iran’s Revolutionary Guards have threatened to target major US technology and industrial companies from April 1, in what they describe as retaliation for attacks on Iranian territory, according to state media reports.

The statement named 18 companies, including Microsoft, Google, Apple, Intel, IBM, Tesla and Boeing, warning that their regional operations could be hit.

"These companies should expect the destruction of their respective units in exchange for each terror act in Iran, starting from 8 PM Tehran time on April 1," the IRGC said in its statement. Tehran is two hours behind India, so 8 pm there corresponds to 10 pm in India.

"Since the main element in designing and tracking targets are American and ICT and AI companies from now on, (these) main institutions will be our legitimate targets," it said in a statement relayed by Tasnim news agency.

IRGC also warned employees of these institutions to immediately leave their workplaces to ensure their safety.
