Iran Threatens to Attack U.S. Tech Companies Starting April 1

Iran's military issued a new threat to 18 U.S. companies in the Middle East on Tuesday, pledging to strike "espionage entities" associated with the "warmongering government of the United States," according to Iranian state media.

The new threat specifically calls out tech companies like Apple, Google, Meta, and Microsoft, which Iran says has assisted in "US-Israeli terror operations," since the war against the country was launched Feb. 28, according to Iran's Press TV. A statement also called out hardware suppliers HP, Intel, IBM, and Cisco.

The strikes against U.S. tech companies and properties are supposed to start April 1 at 8 p.m. local time in Iran, which is 12:30 p.m. Eastern Time. Many U.S. tech companies have offices in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, and Abu Dhabi, which could become targets of Iranian drone and missile attacks if the country follows through on its threat.
