Iran Can’t Hit America—but It Can Bomb American Companies in the Middle East

Peter Suciu

Iran has hinted it will broaden the ongoing war by striking at American commercial targets across the Gulf, rather than purely military ones. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) threatened on Wednesday to carry out attacks on more than a dozen American tech firms if the United States continued to conduct attacks on the Islamic Republic. “In the name of Allah, the Merciful, so whoever attacked you, attack him as he attacked you,” the IRGC wrote in a statement published by Iran’s state-run Tasnim news agency.

“Warning to the aggressive American ruling body and its affiliated spy companies! You ignored our repeated warnings about the need to stop terrorist operations, and today, a number of Iranian citizens were martyred in both your and your Israeli allies’ terrorist attacks; since the main element in designing and tracking terror targets are American ICT and AI companies, in response to these terrorist operations, from now on, the main institutions effective in terrorist operations will be our legitimate targets,” the IRGC statement read.
