The IRGC added that employees of these firms should leave their workplaces immediately and residents “in all countries in the region” should evacuate from a one-kilometer radius around these institutions. The advisory suggests that the IRGC’s targets may include the infrastructure of these tech firms across the Middle East but not necessarily in the U.S.
The companies on the list include Cisco; HP; Intel; Oracle; Microsoft; Apple; Google; Meta; IBM; Dell; Palantir; Nvidia; JP Morgan; Tesla; GE; Boeing. Two companies headquartered in the United Arab Emirates were also named: G42, an Abu Dhabi-based artificial intelligence company, and Spire Solutions, a Dubai-based cybersecurity company.
TIME has reached out to the companies on the list for comment.
All of the companies have operations in or commercial ties to Israel, although most have denied allegations that their technology is used by Israel for military applications. Several of the companies, including Palantir, Microsoft, Google, IBM, and G42, also have documented links to the Israeli military or defence firms. In 2024, Palantir’s Executive Vice President Josh Harris told Bloomberg that the company signed a strategic partnership with the Israeli Defense Ministry to provide “advanced technology in support of war-related missions.”
