    So they mean to strike those companies with a presence in the middle east? Surely they don't think they can hit US mainland?

    Here's what I don't understand, why doesn't the US simply cut their connections to the world. It's quite easy to find fiber optic locations...cut them.

    Instead of flinging bombs and missiles, take out their knees with some cable cutters.

      Iran cut it itself. Its running its own domestic internet where everything domestic works. All domestic banks, apps.

      Literal arrogance to think that the US owns the world.

      Because they have already done that themselves.

    "...Attacks on those companies would begin from 8 p.m. on Wednesday, April 1, Tehran time (12:30 p.m. EDT), the IRGC said in a post on Telegram translated by Google, warning employees at those companies to leave workplaces immediately to protect their lives...

    The list of companies also featured Cisco, HP, Intel, Oracle, IBM, Dell, Palantir, JP Morgan, Tesla, GE, Spire Solutions, Boeing and UAE-based AI company G42. ..."

      There is a possibility the IRGC are trolling, given it's April's Fool today.

        I guess this is supposed to be funny but I wouldn’t take that chance.

      I can’t argue with that list. Perhaps we will all be better off after this ends.
