Iran's Revolutionary Guards warn US companies will be attacked as they issue list of 15 targets with employees urged to evacuate across Middle East
[DM] Iran's Revolutionary Guards have threatened to target as many as 15 US companies across the Middle East calling on employees to evacuate the sites.

The IRGC warned that facilities related to those corporations could be in danger as the war between Iran and the United States and Israel continues into its third week.

'We warn the American regime to evacuate all American industries in the region. We ask people living near industrial factories in which Americans hold shares to leave those areas so they are not harmed,' said the Guards in a statement obtained by Drop Site News.

A graphic being circulated by the IRGC lists some of the companies that would be affected, including ExxonMobil, Boeing, Microsoft, Lockheed Martin and Amazon Web Services.

It comes as Iranian officials have allegedly tried to reestablish diplomatic contact with Donald Trump's Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff.

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.

2 Good morning to all! I would add that the largest concentrations of Americans in the area are in the ARAMCO camps at Dhahran, Abqaiq and Ras Tanura.

3 Isn't this like the comment the other day when a former Obama official threaten companies and organizations that support Trump?
