TNI Bureau: In a sharp escalation of tensions, Iran has warned that it will target major American companies operating in the West Asian region if US attacks continue, signaling a dangerous expansion of the conflict beyond military targets.

According to reports, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has issued a timeline for potential strikes, stating that operations could begin at 8:00 PM Tehran time on Wednesday, April 1.

The warning includes a wide range of global technology and corporate giants. The companies named in the list are:

Cisco
HP
Intel
Oracle
Microsoft
Apple
Google
Meta
IBM
Dell
Palantir
Nvidia
JP Morgan
Tesla
General Electric (GE)

Several of these firms, particularly tech leaders like Microsoft, Google, Apple, Nvidia, IBM, and Oracle, have already been identified in earlier reports as potential “legitimate targets” due to their infrastructure and technological links in the region.

The move marks a significant shift in modern conflict strategy, with Iran expanding its scope from military retaliation to economic and digital infrastructure warfare. Analysts warn that targeting such corporations could disrupt global supply chains, cloud services, and financial systems.

Global markets have reacted with volatility, reflecting fears that the conflict could directly impact multinational operations and investor confidence.

The situation continues to evolve rapidly, with fears growing that further escalation could destabilize not only the region but also the global economic and technological ecosystem.
