Iran: Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has issued a stern warning to US companies operating in the Middle East, demanding the evacuation of all American industries from the region. The warning, issued on Saturday, emphasized that residents near these facilities should leave to avoid harm, as reported by the semi-official Fars News Agency.

According to Anadolu Agency, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps released a list of American industrial, energy, and financial companies that will be considered legitimate targets by Iran's armed forces. The list includes prominent companies such as Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Microsoft, Oracle, ExxonMobil, Citigroup, Amazon Web Services, the NSO Group, KKR, Boston Consulting Group, Bain and Company, and Trafigura. These companies have offices and facilities located in Amman, Abu Dhabi, and Dubai.

The situation has escalated following Amazon's announcement on March 2 that two of its data center facilities in the United Arab Emirates and one in Bahrain sustained physical impacts from drone strikes. The regional tensions have been rising since the joint US and Israel attack against Iran on February 28, which resulted in the death of at least 1,300 people in Iran, including the then-Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

In retaliation, Tehran has launched drone and missile attacks targeting Israel, Jordan, Iraq, and Gulf countries hosting US military assets. These attacks have caused casualties and damage to infrastructure, disrupting global markets and aviation.
