Key Points:
- Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) threatened to retaliate against American university campuses in the Middle East, citing recent U.S. and Israeli strikes that allegedly damaged two Iranian universities.
- The IRGC stated that U.S.-affiliated campuses in the region could become “legitimate targets” unless the U.S. condemns the attacks on Iranian schools by noon on Monday.
- The warning advised staff, faculty, students, and nearby residents to maintain a distance of at least one kilometer from these campuses.
- Several American universities, including Texas A&M University in Qatar and New York University in the UAE, have branches in the Persian Gulf region.
