Babel Street Extends Free Real-Time Risk Intelligence to U.S. Tech Companies Operating Across the Middle East Being Targeted by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps WASHINGTON--( BUSINESS WIRE)--Babel Street, a global leader in mission-grade risk intelligence, today announced it is offering tailored threat intelligence briefings to security leaders across the technology sector immediately, at no cost, to those companies specifically named by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in a warning issued Tuesday, March 31.

In a major escalation of geopolitical risk for the private sector, the IRGC announced plans to target 18 major U.S. technology companies across the Middle East, including Apple, Nvidia, Microsoft, Tesla, and Google, that it has accused of being involved in planning and tracking targets for U.S. attacks.

This time-bound warning targets U.S. and Western technology companies — their employees, their executives, and the infrastructure they operate. Named companies are already closing offices and relocating staff.

“The IRGC’s threat is a coordinated targeting of technology leadership, security and engineering teams, corporate infrastructure, and the people around them. The threat surface is wider than most organizations are currently managing,” said Babel Street CEO Benji Hutchinson, who spent 20 years advising the DoD, U.S. Army, and NATO on identity intelligence and national security technology, and currently serve as a presidential appointee to the National AI Advisory Committee.

“Organizations named by the IRGC should treat this as an active threat. Leaders responsible for security and risk need the ability to identify blind spots, surface locally relevant signals, and understand how this threat is evolving in real time," he said.

Babel Street is helping these organizations by providing immediate, no-cost threat intelligence briefings to security leaders across the technology sector. These private, secure updates deliver real-time insight into evolving IRGC-linked activity and highlight emerging patterns, localized signal, and risks. Most IRGC activity is not conducted in English, yet much of the commercial threat intelligence is English-centric. Babel Street’s AI-powered platform is unique in that it tracks primary sources, channels, and hard-to-reach networks in the languages threats operate in.
