Overview
- The IRGC, in a statement carried by state media Tuesday, named 18 U.S. tech, finance and industrial firms and set 8:00 pm Tehran time on Wednesday, April 1, as the start for strikes.
- The Guards told employees to leave those workplaces to preserve their lives and urged residents within one kilometre of related sites to move to safer areas.
- Iran tied the threat to recent assassinations of its officials, and state media also confirmed Tuesday the death of Brigadier General Jamshid Eshaghi in a U.S.-Israeli strike.
- The statement said American companies across West Asia would be targeted, not only those tied to military bases, which puts offices and stores in hubs like Dubai and Abu Dhabi under new scrutiny.
- No independent confirmation has identified planned targets or host countries, and outlets noted the warning comes through state-affiliated media without proof of the capacity to hit dispersed corporate sites.
