WASHINGTON, March 31 (Reuters) - The White House said on Tuesday that the U.S. military was prepared to thwart any attacks by Iran, responding to threats by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps against U.S. companies in the region.
"The United States military is and was prepared to curtail any attacks by Iran, as evidenced by the 90 percent drop in ballistic missile and drone attacks by the terrorist regime," said a White House official, who did not wish to be named.
The IRGC said earlier on Tuesday that they would target U.S. companies in the region as of April 1 in retaliation for attacks on Iran, state media reported.
