Iran threatens to strike American universities in Middle East

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has threatened attacks on American universities in the region if Washington does not condemn the shelling of Iranian universities.

“If the U.S. administration does not want its universities in the region, except for two, to be attacked, its representatives must condemn the shelling of Iranian universities by 12:00 Tehran time on March 30,” the IRGC said in a statement cited by the Tasnim news agency.

Iranian officials also stated that two American universities in the Middle East will be destroyed regardless of Washington’s position, “as retaliation for the bombing of Iranian universities.”

The statement does not specify which educational institutions are being referred to.
