HIGHThreat Assessment

The article reports that Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has publicly threatened to target U.S. technology companies operating in the Middle East and urged personnel and nearby residents to evacuate. In the context of an active US–Iran conflict and recent strikes, this expands potential target sets beyond military assets to private-sector infrastructure and personnel, raising risks of direct attacks, civilian casualties, and wider escalation.

Summary

The threat comes as U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth warned of a decisive next few days in the war.
