Iran's Revolutionary Guard: Will Respond Equally if US and Israel Carry Out "Terror Actions"
On April 1 local time, the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps stated that if assassination attempts against Iran occur, it will strike related American "intelligence companies." Subsequently, the U.S. Central Command issued a statement claiming that its forces would not attack civilian residences and denied any involvement in the related actions.
In response, the Iranian side stated that the so-called "U.S. military does not infringe on civilian homes and targets" is purely a lie, and there is irrefutable evidence confirming that the attacks on the residence of Iran's Supreme Leader, the homes of certain Iranian officials, and the attack on the Minab School are clear examples of "terrorist acts" directly carried out by the U.S. military.
The Iranian statement also said that the U.S. military's blatant involvement and deep participation in the "terrorist alliance" means that the U.S. military must bear responsibility for the actions of that alliance.
The statement claimed that regardless of whether the related actions are carried out by the U.S. side or Israel, Iran will respond in kind, and reiterated that the warning issued earlier regarding 18 companies remains valid.
On March 31 local time, the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced that it would consider companies related to 18 American information and communication technology and artificial intelligence firms in the Middle East as "legitimate targets for strikes." These 18 companies include Cisco, HP, Intel, Oracle, Microsoft, Apple, Google, and others. The announcement stated, "Employees of the aforementioned institutions are advised to leave their workplaces immediately to ensure their safety," and residents within a 1-kilometer radius of these institutions should also leave their homes and go to safe locations.
