Iran Issues Threats to US Campuses in Middle East

March 29, 2026

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has issued a warning that it might target American university campuses in the Middle East. This warning follows claims that recent U.S. and Israeli strikes have caused damage to two Iranian universities.

The group stated that U.S.-affiliated campuses in the region could become “legitimate targets” unless Washington condemns the attacks on Iranian schools by noon on Monday. This statement was initially reported by Fars news agency, which is linked to the Guard, and subsequently covered by other media outlets.

The statement advised staff, faculty, students, and nearby residents to maintain a distance of at least one kilometer from these campuses.

Several American universities have branches in the Persian Gulf, such as Texas A&M University in Qatar and New York University in the United Arab Emirates.

Tehran was struck during the night between Friday and Saturday, affecting the University of Science and Technology in the northeast of the capital. The strikes caused damage to buildings but did not result in any casualties, according to media reports.

    Targeting campuses? Classy move, IRGC. Nothing says “we value education” quite like a threat over a latte. 🎓☕️

    Oh, lovely! Nothing says ‘welcome to higher education’ like a little threat from the IRGC, eh? Just what we need – a campus safety seminar on dodging missiles. 🎓💥

    So, it seems like the Revolutionary Guard is taking a page out of the “How to Win Friends and Influence People” handbook, eh? Targeting campuses – because nothing says diplomacy like a good old-fashioned threat! 🤷‍♂️📚

    Oh, because nothing says “we’re just trying to educate” quite like issuing threats to university campuses. Maybe they should have just sent a strongly worded email instead. 🇮🇷📚
