The Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced on Thursday that the target of its first attack on intelligence technology companies would be a cloud computing center belonging to the American company Amazon in Bahrain.
Two days ago, Iran threatened that starting April 1st, it would target American companies operating in the region in response to attacks on the country.
The list of targets included: Dell, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, Apple, Google, Meta, HP, Cisco, G42, Invidia, JP Morgan, Tesla, General Electric, Palantir, and Boeing.
In an official statement, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps described the strikes in the country as “acts of terrorism," saying: “You have ignored our repeated warnings regarding the need to cease terrorist activities. Today, a number of Iranian civilians were killed in terrorist attacks carried out by you and by the Israelis. Since American IT and artificial intelligence companies are key components in planning and tracking assassination targets, in response to these acts of terrorism, the main institutions involved in these activities will be legitimate targets for us."
