Iran threatens to attack American tech companies in the Middle East. White House: The US is ready to respond.

In a statement published by the Tasnim agency, the IRGC (Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps) announced that attacks against American companies could begin as early as Wednesday evening.

The organization has urged employees and residents near facilities owned by American companies to evacuate the area, mentioning 18 targeted companies, including Cisco, HP, Intel, Oracle, Microsoft, Apple, Google, Meta, IBM, Dell, Palantir, Nvidia, Tesla, and Boeing, accusing them of involvement in 'terrorist plots.' This threat comes after a similar reaction from Iran earlier this month, targeting companies with infrastructure in Israel and Gulf states.

In response, the White House stated that the U.S. military is prepared to repel any attack from Iran, emphasizing the 90% decrease in ballistic missile and drone attacks by the Iranian regime. A White House official stated that the U.S. remains vigilant and ready for any challenge.
