The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) warned of attacks on US-linked companies in the Middle East in the coming hours and called on local residents to evacuate, the Fars news agency said.

"We are warning the possible US regime to evacuate all American businesses in the region. In addition, we call on residents of areas located near industrial facilities in which Americans are shareholders to leave these territories to avoid possible damage," Fars quoted the Iranian Revolutionary Guard as saying.

It is reported that the attacks could be carried out in the coming hours, while Iran has been targeting American targets in the region for days.
