# U.S. and Iran Exchange Threats as Conflict Enters Day 33

Iran's Revolutionary Guards issued a stark threat late Tuesday, announcing plans to attack 18 major U.S. technology and industrial companies starting at 8 PM Tehran time on April 1, according to India's India Today reporting on the IRGC statement relayed by Tasnim news agency. The list includes Microsoft, Google, Apple, Intel, IBM, Tesla, and Boeing, with warnings of strikes on their regional operations in retaliation for attacks on Iranian territory. IRGC urged employees to evacuate immediately for safety, framing the firms as key enablers of U.S. targeting tech. The White House responded swiftly, with an official telling India Today that U.S. forces stand ready to counter any aggression from the terrorist regime, noting a 90 percent drop in Iranian ballistic missile and drone attacks. This comes amid escalating U.S.-Israel operations against Iran, now in day 33, as Gulf News details President Trump's signal that the conflict could wrap up in two weeks or maybe three. Strikes hit near Tehran's former U.S. embassy early Wednesday, damaging walls and nearby shops, per AFP journalists cited in the report. Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi dismissed negotiations with Washington in an Al Jazeera interview, confirming only message exchanges. Domestically, counterterrorism efforts intensify. GV Wire sources reveal the Trump administration is planning a June or July international summit on Antifa, led by Under Secretary Thomas DiNanno, to share intelligence on the group after its designation as a domestic terrorist organization. Meanwhile, the FBI's March 30 news conference, covered by CNN, labeled a March 12 Michigan synagogue ramming by Lebanese-born U.S. citizen Ayman Ghazali a Hezbollah-inspired terror act; he loaded his truck with fireworks and gasoline, exchanged fire with guards, then died by suicide. Broader trends show U.S. terrorism deaths rising amid global declines, per the Global Terrorism Index 2026 from HSToday, with lone actors radicalized online targeting civilians. HSToday also warns Iran's weakened proxies like Hezbollah pose fragmented risks, exacerbated by recent FBI cuts on Iranian monitoring.
