CAIRO, March 31 (Xinhua) -- Iran's Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) on Tuesday warned that companies it accused of involvement in "terrorist espionage" could be targeted, naming several major U.S. technology firms and urging employees and nearby residents to leave the areas.

In a statement, the IRGC said institutions it claims contribute to intelligence operations, communications technology, and artificial intelligence used in attacks on Iran would be considered "legitimate targets."

The statement specifically listed companies including Cisco, HP, Intel, Oracle, Microsoft, Apple, Google, and Meta, among others. Endtiem
