Iran has drawn up a strike list, encompassing all major US tech companies including Nvidia, Microsoft, Google, Palantir, Oracle, and IBM.
The offices, regional headquarters, cloud computing data centers, and R&D centers of these US tech giants in the Middle East are explicitly listed as legitimate targets.
Iran's move is essentially a de-technological push against the US. Tech stocks have been a core pillar of the long-term prosperity of the US stock market. If these tech companies are bombed, the capital behind them will withdraw, potentially bursting the AI bubble in the US stock market and causing a crash.
If the US stock market crashes, the cryptocurrency market will likely collapse even more drastically. Whether a historic opportunity will emerge remains to be seen.
