Iran Guards say will target US tech firms if more leaders killedTEHRAN, March 31, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Iran's Revolutionary Guards said on Tuesday that they would target leading US technology firms like Apple, Google and Meta if more Iranian leaders were killed in "targeted assassinations". The Guards' statement said the US government and tech giants had "ignored our repeated warnings regarding the necessity" of halting operations targeting top Iranian officials, alleging that the tech firms are the "main element in designing and tracking assassination targets". "Companies that actively participate in terrorist designs will face reciprocal action for every targeted assassination," the statement said. The Islamic republic's powerful security chief, Ali Larijani, has also been killed, as have many other prominent figures. Israel and the United States say they have dealt a major blow to Iran by killing top officials, but some analysts say the Islamic republic is showing resilience and capacity to recover from the setbacks.
