Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has issued a warning to 18 major American firms operating in the West Asian region, threatening to target their infrastructure on April 1 if more Iranian leaders are killed.

The 18 companies listed in the IRGC's threat include Microsoft, Google, Apple, Intel, IBM, Tesla, and Boeing, which the IRGC alleges have assisted US-Israeli terror operations inside Iran by providing espionage services.

The IRGC claims that the 'artificial intelligence (AI) and internet communication technology (ICT) services' used by these firms have been used in designing terror operations and tracing assassination targets by the US and Israel inside Iran.

The IRGC has specified that the planned 'reprisal attacks starting at 20:00 Iran time on April 1' would be devastating, warning that these companies' regional offices would be 'annihilated.'

The Guards have urged employees working at these firms 'to immediately leave their workplaces to protect their lives', and advised residents living 'within a one-kilometre radius' to evacuate.
