The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps threaten to target US universities in the Middle East after saying US and Israeli strikes had destroyed two Iranian universities.
“If the US government wants its universities in the region to be free from retaliation… it must condemn the bombing of the universities in an official statement by 12 noon on Monday, March 30, Tehran time,” said the statement published by Iranian media.
The statement added: “We advise all employees, professors, and students of American universities in the region and residents of their surrounding areas” stay a kilometer away from campuses.

Context and Considerations
These universities provide American-style education abroad, often teaching in English and following U.S. curricula, which allows students to earn degrees recognized in the United States. Many of these institutions are fully accredited by U.S. accrediting bodies, while some newer or smaller campuses are still candidates for accreditation.
Wikipedia
Students considering these universities should also be aware of regional security concerns, as recent geopolitical tensions have led to threats against U.S.-linked institutions in the Middle East, including campuses in Qatar and the UAE. While these threats are specific and situational, they highlight the importance of monitoring safety advisories when planning to study in the region.

These institutions offer a wide range of programs in engineering, business, arts, medicine, and international affairs, providing students with the opportunity to pursue U.S.-style higher education without leaving the region.
What…no Harvard or UC Berkley campus in Tehran?
Did we hit their universities or not?
Where they the target or did they have research on nuclear weapons or missle systems. If they were not the target then weapons malfunction would be the issue. If they conducted weapons research then they were fair game.
Iran does a lot of ‘threatening’... Other than that... They haven’t been doing that much lately.
Why not go for Harvard......I double-dog dare them!
Week five, still no unconditional surrender.
I had no idea such craven support for Islamic education was so prevalent among “liberal arts” universities.
Those people will do anything for money.

Wouldn’t that be “Friendly Fire”?
But this sounds like something can only be a war crime when they do it.
So there is no reason for the pro-Hamas terrorist demonstrators to be at Columbia or other universities in the States. They could easily find American style education in many parts of the Middle East.
But we can always count on comments like yours.
You want your lollipop now. You don’t understand how complex and evolving these situations are.
and you continue to repeat and support the media.
It is going to take a generation to change things. What are you doing to help?
“Week five, still no unconditional surrender.”
Day one Trump said four to six weeks.
True. Cowards hide in civilian areas using them as human shields.
Hospitals, schools, apartment complexes, etc.
So they can’t say anything if they get bombed.
They think nothing of getting their own citizens killed.
This is demonic warfare.
“Iran threatens to hit US universities...”
I thought Iran was our enemy?
If we did, which I don’t think we did, it would be collateral damage rather than premeditated vengeance.
Just cowards attacking cowards.
If these nations being attacked want this to stop they better be prepared to band together and put an end to it. If Iran gets away with the threats it will only embolden them. There’s no going back, the job must be finished.
