Iran has announced plans to target 18 major US companies operating in the Middle East starting April 1, in retaliation for unspecified attacks. The companies listed include tech giants such as HP, IBM, Dell, Intel, Meta, Tesla, Cisco, Apple, Nvidia, Oracle, Google, and Microsoft. Other targeted firms include Boeing, Palantir, JP Morgan, Spire Solutions, and General Electric. This move marks a significant escalation in tensions between Iran and the United States.
