Iran Threatens Tesla and Microsoft Like It’s Black Friday Sales Warning
KEY POINTS
- •Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps threatened 18 US companies on Tuesday, including Tesla and Meta.
- •The statement warned attacks could happen as soon as 8 p.m. Wednesday, advising employees to avoid workplaces.
- •These threats followed ongoing US-Israel drone strikes against Iran starting February 28, amid broader travel advisories.
On Tuesday, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps nonchalantly reminded the world that they can threaten US companies with Middle Eastern footprints, naming a star-studded blacklist including Tesla, Meta, Boeing, Apple, JP Morgan, Microsoft, Dell, Cisco, Intel, and HP. According to the IRGC-linked Tasnim News Agency, these 18 unlucky firms could face unspecified 'targeting' as early as 8 p.m. Iran time on Wednesday. Employees were helpfully advised to avoid workplaces and everything within a kilometer radius. While the Pentagon and White House played ghost, JPMorgan and Microsoft mastered the art of 'no comment.' This drama unfolds amid US-Israel drone strikes on Iran since February 28, with the US meanwhile urging travelers to reconsider visiting much of the Middle East. The only certainty: these threats come with all the seriousness of that one friend who promises they'll “definitely show up” to the party but probably won’t.

When your foreign policy strategy looks like a toddler playing with a neighborhood water hose: sprinkles of threats, zero follow-through.
