Iran warns major U.S. corporations to evacuate in UAE and Jordan
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has warned companies in which Americans hold shares to evacuate from West Asia “so they are not harmed”.
An accompanying graphic circulated by the IRGC lists various industrial, tech, energy, and financial firms operating in Jordan and the UAE, including specific office locations.
The list includes: Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Microsoft, Oracle, ExxonMobil, Citigroup, Amazon Web Services
and KKR.

Iran is hitting the US where it hurts — financially.
Iran mastered the art of asymmetric warfare. It recognized the US empire’s weak points, and is hitting them hard.
First Iran struck US bases.
Then it closed the Strait of Hormuz and damaged oil fields, causing oil prices to skyrocket.
Now it is targeting major US corporations. https://t.co/MSpjLxKu0k

Iran is taking the moral high ground — which honestly isn’t hard when you’re fighting genocidal maniacs.
The US and Israel did not warn the Iranian school full of little girls that they were about to bomb it.
All things considered, Iran is extremely restrained compared to certain “civilised” forces targeting schoolgirls without warning. https://t.co/wjwGFTpVFm

Who are the real terrorists?
Notice how Iran warns the innocent civilians ahead of time to evacuate. To avoid killing civilians and only damage US property. The US and Israel give no such warnings. They bomb haphazardly with no regard for innocent life.
Which one sounds more like terrorists? https://t.co/W2yloh3631

And in comparison, the companies Iran might now target are all propping up Israel’s illegal war.
Very good of Iran to warn them to evacuate even though they ARE Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Microsoft , ExxonMobil, Citigroup, Amazon, Boston Consulting Group, and Bain — arguably combatant companies that run imperial wars. https://t.co/GE83yfvePZ

Iran is singlehandedly decolonising West Asia. But unlike Israel and the US, it is concerned about civilian casualties.
Iran’s retaliation
The UAE has repeatedly allowed the US and Israel to launch strikes on Iran from its territory. Therefore, its fair game.
translation: “the UAE just fucked up big time by allowing the USA to launch continuous attacks on us from there.” https://t.co/YfJAgOwGk7

As Epstein would say, ‘whoops’.
the most important lesson from the history of all empires:
don’t fight a war where you have a ton of fixed capital locked up https://t.co/6SFnJZAM15

Israel only colonised Palestine in 1948, whereas Iran is attempting to defend its millennia-old history.
Iran 🇮🇷 is merely fighting to defend its 6000 year history and has every right to respond however it wants. https://t.co/7CDPbQEfyO

Company values
The Canary has extensively covered several companies on IRCG’s target list.
Lockheed Martin is the manufacturer of Israel’s F-35 warplanes, which have been linked to specific war crimes in Gaza.
The Times of Israel previously reported:
The ministry said a delegation to the US signed a letter of agreement for the $3 billion deal that included 25 advanced stealth fighters built by Lockheed Martin.
Similarly, Boeing provides Israel with F-15 jets, Apache helicopters, satellites, military hardware and missiles.
Back in 2022, Israel used Boeing attack helicopters and fighter jets to attack Gaza. It murdered 44 Palestinians, including 15 children and 4 women, and wounded 360.
Microsoft also has deep ties with the Israeli state and provides services to the government, the Ministry of Defence, the military, and security bodies. All of Israel’s military apps run on Microsoft’s cloud service.
Leaked documents also show that Microsoft has significantly increased its operations with Israel’s military since 2023.
It is clear that since October 7, Israel has had the might of the world’s technology giants supporting its illegal siege of Gaza and Palestine. However, if profits start to suffer, maybe companies will rethink their ties to a genocidal terrorist state.
Iran is giving the US and Israel a taste of their own medicine and hitting them where it hurts, whilst also trying to clear the BDS list. Maybe Trump will get a reality check and rein in his ego — or maybe US companies will suffer just like Palestine, Iran and Lebanon.
