The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps warns American firms of potential retaliation, escalating fears of broader conflict in the region.

Tensions in the Middle East escalated as Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) issued a stern warning to employees of US-linked companies, urging them to leave the region immediately. The move comes amid mounting friction between Tehran, the United States, and its allies.

Iran accused certain foreign firms of supporting “hostile operations” and signaled that companies allegedly involved in such activities could face direct retaliation. Major American companies across tech, aerospace, and other sectors have reportedly been flagged, sparking fears for the safety of employees and assets.

While Iranian authorities confirmed the evacuation warning, claims circulating online about specific attack dates and targeted firms remain unverified and likely exaggerated.

The alert underscores growing concerns of a wider regional escalation, with global businesses and governments closely monitoring developments to safeguard personnel and operations.
