The Iranian Revolutionary Guard vowed on Tuesday to target major American technology companies, such as Apple, Google, Meta, and Tesla, if more Iranian leaders are “assassinated” in the war that has been going on for more than a month. The Guard's statement came as Tehran announced on Tuesday that military facilities in central Iran had been hit by US-Israeli strikes, also noting that other civilian sites had been targeted. The statement included a list that included a number of what it described as “spying companies,” which it accused of being “active” in assassination operations and “actively participating in planning terrorism,” and said that they would be “legitimate targets from now on” for the Revolutionary Guards, including “Cisco,” “HP,” “Intel,” “Microsoft,” “IBM,” “Nvidia,” “Boeing,” and others. The Revolutionary Guard said in the statement that “these companies should expect the destruction of their units for every assassination in Iran” as of eight o’clock in the evening (16:30 GMT) on Wednesday, the first of April. Trump sent conflicting signals about whether Washington would escalate the war, perhaps by deploying American ground forces, or would seek to end it quickly through negotiations with Tehran. Speaking in Washington after inspecting American forces in the Middle East over the weekend, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said, "The coming days will be decisive. Iran is aware of this, and it has almost no military capacity to do anything about it." In response to a question about possible next steps, he said: “A war cannot be fought and won if you tell the opponent what you are prepared to do, or not, including deploying ground forces.” Trump threatened on Monday to "bomb and wipe out all power stations, oil wells, Khark Island, and perhaps all water desalination plants" in Iran unless an agreement is reached to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran has closed since the war began more than a month ago with its threats and targeting of ships. On Tuesday, two massive explosions occurred in the city of Isfahan in central Iran, as appeared in a video whose authenticity was verified by Agence France-Presse. Iranian official media also reported damage to Al-Husseiniyah in Zanjan, northwest of the country. The Iranian government also announced that US-Israeli strikes targeted one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in Iran on Tuesday, which produces anesthesia and cancer treatment drugs. Earlier Tuesday morning, Fars News Agency reported "several explosions" and power outages in some parts of Tehran as residents reported they were trying to cling to what remained of their normal lives despite tight security measures.
