Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has warned it will target American technology companies in the Middle East as of April 1.
The list of targets includes 17 American companies: Cisco, HP, Intel, Oracle, Microsoft, Apple, Google, Meta, IBM, Dell, Palantir, Nvidia, J.P. Morgan Chase, Tesla, GE, Spire Solution, Boeing, according to a Telegram post from the IRGC.
The Emirati company G42 is also listed.
American information and artificial intelligence (AI) companies are “the main element” in designing and tracking the “terrorist operations” that the United States has conducted against Iran, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said.
“We will target American technology companies for every assassination in Iran,” the post, originally written in Farsi, reads.
“You ignored our repeated warnings about the need to stop terrorist operations … from now on the main institutions effective in terrorist operations will be our legitimate targets,” it added.
Tech employees are to leave their workplaces “immediately to save their lives,” the IRGC said.
In a statement to Euronews Next, Intel said it is “taking steps to safeguard and support our workers and facilities in the Middle East,” and are actively monitoring the situation.
Euronews Next contacted the other companies listed in this latest IRGC message but did not receive an immediate reply.
The post comes a few weeks after Tasnim, an Iranian news agency with ties to the IRGC, posted a list of 30 locations throughout the Middle East of Big Tech bases that would be Iran’s “new targets in the region.”
The message claimed that these sites have been identified as “enemy technology infrastructure.”
Several locations highlighted by Tasnim were in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE), and in Tel Aviv, Israel. In Tel Aviv, the list includes the main offices of defence technology company Palantir, as well as offices belonging to Amazon and Microsoft, along with Nvidia’s engineering and development centre.
According to the post, most locations were selected due to their involvement in developing artificial intelligence (AI) systems or because they coordinate cloud computing services across the Middle East.
Two of Amazon’s data centres in the UAE, another target on the list, were hit on March 1. A third data centre in Bahrain was damaged after it was hit by falling debris from another attack site.
The IRGC previously claimed responsibility for the attacks, telling state media that the attacks were aimed at identifying the role of these centres in supporting the enemy’s military and intelligence activities.
Four offices belonging to Oracle, IBM, and Google in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, and Abu Dhabi were singled out because they allegedly provide infrastructure for “military entities,” the post said.
Amazon and Alphabet, Google’s parent company, were awarded a $1.2 billion (€1 billion) contract in 2021 from the Israeli government to work on Project Nimbus, which provided Israel with “core tech infrastructure,” according to a 2025 report from UN rapporteur Francesca Albanese on the situation of human rights in occupied Palestine.
These companies and Microsoft grant Israel “virtually government-wide access to their cloud and AI technologies,” Albanese’s report read.
The report also claims that IBM has trained Israeli military and intelligence personnel and that there is “reasonable ground” to believe that Palantir provided automatic predictive policing technology to the Israeli government to process data and generate lists of targets in Palestine.
Oracle was not mentioned in Albanese’s report. However, media research organisation The Middle East Monitor reported that executives at the company pushed to embed a “love for Israel” in American culture.
The US Department of War also recently awarded the company an $88 million (€74.4 million) contract to integrate its cloud computing software with the US Air Force.
