Iran's Revolutionary Guard is threatening retaliation against US university campuses in the Middle East, saying US and Israeli strikes have destroyed two Iranian universities.
 
In a statement carried by the Fars news agency, which is closely linked to the Guard, it warned that US universities in the region could be targeted unless Washington issues an official condemnation of the bombings by noon on Monday, March 30.
 
"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.
 
Several US institutions operate branches in the Gulf, including Texas A&M University in Qatar and New York University in the UAE.
 
Weeks of US and Israeli strikes have severely damaged Iran's military, but the Islamic Republic is still managing to strike Israel and Gulf countries allied with the US.
