Iran Threatens Major US Companies in the Middle East Creating New Risk for Crypto
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps warned that, starting April 1, it will target a list of U.S. multinationals operating in the Middle East, including Microsoft, Google, Apple, Intel, IBM, Tesla, Boeing, JPMorgan, Oracle, Nvidia and others.

The threat follows recent drone strikes that damaged AWS data centers in the UAE and Bahrain, showing how quickly regional conflict can disrupt digital‑asset services. Analysts caution that any escalation could ripple through crypto markets even without a direct hit on an exchange.
