Trump mocks Iran's threat to attack top US companies Google, Apple: 'With BB guns?' (X)
Washington: After Iran threatened to target the US companies such as Apple, Microsoft and Google, President Donald Trump mockingly on Tuesday said that "What are they going to attack the tech giants with - BB guns?"
The Iran's military unit, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on Tuesday said that if more Iranian leaders are killed in "targeted assassinations", it will target US companies and not just those working on military bases in the Middle East/Gulf region starting April 1.
The 18 companies included in the IRGC's threat include Microsoft, Google, Apple, Intel, IBM, Tesla, and Boeing.
During the White House briefing, while replying to a reporters question regarding "the Iranian government threatened several American companies in the region today," Trump jokingly replied that, "With what? What did they threaten them with? BB guns or? They don't have much left to threaten."

The BB gun, Donald Trump is referring to is a toy gun that contains plastic pellets.
When the reporter was repeating the question, Trump interrupted and said, "You made a statement. What did they threaten him with? I don't know. Tell me. How did they threaten him?"
The reporter said all they knew was that Iran threatened the companies.
“What does that mean?” Trump said, asking did Iranians say “something nasty”.
Irritated by the half information, a seemingly annoyed Trump said, “You don't even know what the threat was. What was the threat? I haven't heard it. What was the threat? Did they say they're going to blow them up?”
Trump then asked, "You know what they're not going to do? They're not going to attack them with nuclear weapons."
