Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Threaten Retaliation Against US Companies Amid Rising Tensions

The Revolutionary Guards of Iran have issued threats against up to 15 American businesses operating throughout the Middle East, urging their workforce to vacate these locations.

The IRGC’s warning highlights potential risks to facilities linked to these firms, as tensions between Iran, the United States, and Israel escalate further into their third week of conflict.

In a statement accessed by Drop Site News, the Guards cautioned the American government to withdraw its industries from the region, advising those residing near such industrial sites with American investments to relocate for their safety.

A visual shared by the IRGC identifies some of the targeted companies, including ExxonMobil, Boeing, Microsoft, Lockheed Martin, and Amazon Web Services.

This development coincides with reports that Iranian officials have sought to renew diplomatic dialogues with Steve Witkoff, the Middle East envoy from Donald Trump’s administration.

The President, however, has no interest in negotiating with Tehran, senior White House officials told CNN. 

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi denied making any contact with Witkoff in a social media post. 

‘My last contact with Mr. Witkoff was prior to his employer’s decision to kill diplomacy with another illegal military attack on Iran. Any claim to the contrary appears geared solely to mislead oil traders and the public,’ Araghchi wrote.

The Daily Mail has reached out to the White House for comment.

In total the graphic lists 15 companies which could be targeted. Pictured: A Video grab taken from handout footage released by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on March 12, 2026, shows what it says was the ‘launch of wave #41 of Iranian missiles’

It comes after Iran launched fresh drone strikes on the United Arab Emirates (UAE) sparking huge fires near Dubai airport and at a major oil terminal in Fujairah.

Meanwhile, the Israeli military has declared it has begun what it described as ‘limited ground operations’ against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon and vowed bombing will continue in Tehran for a further three weeks.

European leaders pushed back at Donald Trump’s plan to send an armada of warships to help secure the Strait of Hormuz after the President warned NATO faces a ‘very bad’ future if allies do not help the US.

Earlier Monday, Trump suggested the conflict could resolve soon as oil tanker traffic in the Strait of Hormuz has come to a standstill, though some are warning the war could last most of the year. 

The average gas price for a gallon of regular has risen to $3.72, according to AAA, up from $2.93 a month ago. 

Speaking to PBS News on Monday, the President said he called the inflated gas prices ‘a very small price to pay’ and that ‘the oil prices will drop like a rock as soon as it’s over.’

‘I don’t believe it will be long,’ he said when asked about how much longer the war will drag on.

But three sources familiar with the matter told Axios that the Middle East conflict could bleed into September, a much longer timeline than Trump has ever discussed publicly.

It is dangerous territory for the President with the midterm elections just weeks later.

Americans largely oppose the conflict, according to an exclusive Daily Mail/JL Partners poll.

Thirteen US troops have been killed so far in the war, and 200 troops have been injured, including 10 ‘seriously,’ Central Command spokesperson Capt. Tim Hawkins said Monday.

Trump first told the Daily Mail in a phone interview that the war could last up to four weeks. Later, he indicated it could last up to five. 

Since then, the President has been cagey on the exact timing of the conflict, not wanting to show his hand to the media ahead of any actions regarding Iran. 

He has also said the war will last as long as ‘necessary,’ without giving further explanation. 

His flip-flopping messaging on the war comes as Americans express skepticism over the fight and the midterms loom in November as Republicans on Capitol Hill seek to maintain their small majority.

Meanwhile leaked audio revealed how Iran’s new Ayatollah escaped death by seconds by stepping out for a walk in his garden.

Mojtaba Khamenei was targeted in the same attack that killed his father on February 28 – but his decision to venture outdoors ‘to do something’ saved his life.

An address delivered by Mazaher Hosseini, head of protocol for the regime, provided a detailed account of what happened when an Israeli missile struck the family home.

Hosseini told senior clerics and Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) commanders that Mojtaba Khamenei suffered an injury to his leg.
