Teh threat followed U.S.and Israeli strikes on two Iranian universities-Iran University of science and Technology in Tehran and Isfahan University of Technology-with footage showing heavy damage at Tehran\u2019s campus.The IRGC set a deadline of 12 p.m. Iran time for the United States to issue an official condemnation of the bombings, effectively giving about eight hours to respond or risk attacks on U.S. satellite campuses in the region (including institutions like NYU, Northwestern, Georgetown, and American University campuses in Qatar, UAE, Lebanon, Iraq, and Egypt). In anticipation, some campuses have moved to online instruction, such as american University campuses in Baghdad and Beirut and NYU Abu Dhabi. the piece notes ongoing regional drone and missile activity and mentions an <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >iranian heavy water plant<\/a> going offline after an Israeli strike, a growth tied to IAEA reporting.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Iran threatens to bomb US and Israeli universities in Middle East<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2545281\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Iran&rsquo;s military has threatened to strike American and <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/israel\" type=\"link\" id=\"washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/israel\">Israeli<\/a> universities in the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/middle-east\" type=\"link\" id=\"washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/middle-east\">Middle East<\/a>, calling them &ldquo;legitimate targets.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;From now on, all universities of the occupying entity [Israel] and American universities in West Asia will be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/strike-on-base-by-russia-brings-war-close-to-natos-border\/\" title=\"Strike on Base By Russia Brings War Close to NATO\u2019s Border\">considered legitimate targets<\/a>,&rdquo; the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said in a statement on Sunday. &ldquo;We advise all employees, professors, and students of American universities in the region and residents of their surrounding areas to stay at least one kilometer away from the campuses to preserve their safety.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/supreme-court\/4506263\/pressure-mounts-supreme-court-to-hear-case-secret-gender-transitions\/\">Pressure mounts on Supreme Court to take up case that tests secret gender transitions at schools<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/justice\/4505502\/ftc-commissioner-american-bar-communist-left-leaning\/\">FTC commissioner likens American Bar Association to &#8216;communist party&#8217; over far-left advocacy<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/education\/4503614\/high-school-students-traumatized-immigrant-allegedly-groped\/\">Virginia high school mom says students are &lsquo;traumatized&rsquo; by illegal immigrant who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/students-are-traumatized-by-immigrant-accused-of-groping-girls-virginia-mother\/\" title=\"Students are \u2018traumatized\u2019 by immigrant accused of groping girls: Virginia mother\">allegedly groped girls<\/a><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>The threat came after the United States and Israel hit two Iranian universities this weekend, the Iran University of Science and Technology in Tehran and the Isfahan University of Technology.
