Iran targets US big tech

[hostm]

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has accused several major international companies—Sisco, HP, Intel, Oracle, Microsoft, Apple, Google, Meta IBM, DEL, Plantier, Nvidia, GP Morgan, Tesla, GE, Spire Solution, G42, and Boeing—of "actively participating" in "terrorist planning" against Iran.

"These companies should expect the destruction of their affiliated units in response to every assassination in Iran starting at 8:00 PM Tehran time on Wednesday, April 1," according to an IRGC statement cited by Iran's state broadcaster.

The first question is what will happen to the S&P 500 and NASDAQ indices?

The second question is what will happen to Bitcoin?

The first question is what will happen to the S&P 500 and NASDAQ indices?

I am not sure with that but if a missile hits any of those companies buildings, investors are going to react in it and might see a quick dump.

The second question is what will happen to Bitcoin?

AFAIK, there's nothing that shall happen for Bitcoin if these are hit by Iran. Bitcoin don't rely on all of these companies although it might also have some little pull back, we will see.

On March 1, Iranian forces struck Amazon Web Services (AWS) data centers in the UAE and Bahrain, which provides cloud infrastructure for numerous popular online services, as well as for government agencies, universities, and businesses. The damage to three AWS facilities in the Middle East resulted in limited local disruption. Global damage was avoided because the company quickly redistributed the computing load to its branches in other regions.

They can destroy all the data centers in the Middle East, and there are a lot of them there.

The second question is what will happen to Bitcoin?

In the short term, the S&P 500 and NASDAQ will likely experience selling pressure due to fear which will cause people to secure their money. These assets may not be fully tested because people don't see them as a store of value. If Iran ultimately targets the entire building, I'm sure the pressure will be quite real due to concerns about how their assets will be moved to a safer place or asset.

Although Bitcoin will also experience a short-term decline when that happens, this asset is resilient as a store of value, so I don't think the impact will be as significant as the S&P 500 and NASDAQ. This is just my personal assumption and may be contrary to the actual conditions, but if we look at the effects of the current war, perhaps most conditions will be like this.

The second question is what will happen to Bitcoin?

The short answer is...nothing would happen to the S&P 500 and NASDAQ. Any facilities located in Persian Gulf countries, which are owned by those companies would become a target for Iran, but that doesn't posses a major threat for those companies. I don't believe that Iran would ever attack the headquarters of IBM, Nvidia or GP Morgan, which are located in the USA. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corpse can publish threats and talk sh*t about whatever they want, but they don't have the capacity to organize terrorist attacks in the USA. This is a part of the propaganda war or psychological war, that was being waged by Iran. They want to cause as much chaos on the financial markets as possible.
What will happen to Bitcoin? Nothing. The "bear season" continues as planned.

Not in support of this but then, will this send the world great depression, recession and attack the global economy?! Good we all know who has done things attacking you and I personally and globally, leading to possible food shortage in the world as well.

And let's act like we've forgotten who attacked innocent school children deliberately and internationally.

Bitcoin?! Built to thrive during toughest times and situations.

The first question is what will happen to the S&P 500 and NASDAQ indices?

The markets will obviously react. You saw what happened to oil at the beginning of the war except that It was moving in the opposite direction.

The second question is what will happen to Bitcoin?

I don't think Bitcoin will be affected that much.

The short answer is...nothing would happen to the S&P 500 and NASDAQ. Any facilities located in Persian Gulf countries, which are owned by those companies would become a target for Iran, but that doesn't posses a major threat for those companies.

That's delusional for you to think that way. The US claims to be the largest producer of oil in the world, why then did a simple closure of the straight of Hormuz affect even the oil prices in the US?
You probably don't know how markets react to events like wars and disasters.

I don't believe that Iran would ever attack the headquarters of IBM, Nvidia or GP Morgan, which are located in the USA.

You think warfare involves just sending missiles from one country to another? Ever heard of large scale cyberattacks? Suicide bombings? Chemical warfare? Biological warfare etc

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corpse can publish threats and talk sh*t about whatever they want, but they don't have the capacity to organize terrorist attacks in the USA. This is a part of the propaganda war or psychological war, that was being waged by Iran. They want to cause as much chaos on the financial markets as possible.

Funny of you ignore the fact that the US and Israel were the first to issue a threat that they are going to bomb their vital infrastructure and Universities. You expect them to just sit and not retaliate while their country gets destroyed. The Zionist propaganda machine really has you by the balls

Unless they don't have any missiles anymore. I hope this news[1] recently released by Reuters that the new leader of Iran has asked a ceasefire, Trump said is not an April fools joke.

So if they're going to target those tech companies that are nearby to Iran, they'll have to get ready for the retaliation of USA.

It makes a great headline and is part of the information war the Iran is fighting at the moment, but realistically there are limited ways that Iran can attack these companies. Even online, if they were able to make significant dents into the internal controls of these companies, they'd probably be better off retaining access and milking the data that comes out of it long term - but this is something they would have been doing regardless of the war being on or not. There will be offices and limited manufacturing centers within range for some of these companies, which might get targeted in future. Trump is doing much more damage to those indexes than this proclamation by Iran, so it's almost insignificant in comparison.

What about the link to the quote. Donald Trump said that they had negotiations with Iran but Iran has deny to any communication with Donald Trump.
There may be more factions in Iran and they are all sending different messages and they don’t represent each other. This is Wednesday the first of April but no major company on that list has been destroyed and if their affiliates is destroyed then Iran should take responsibility for it but no news about any destruction, or is it April fool.

I hope that this is a war propaganda by Iran, like sone people are also speculating because if it happens for real that they will target all these American companies the war will degenerate to a next level and more fierce fightings on both sides. I want to believe that the two sides have shown their strength especially on the side of Iran that it is capable of some levels of retaliations against America. This should be a time of dialogue on both sides because war never favors any side because of the casualties and the hardships that it will cause the ordinary citizens.

There will likely be a downward price reaction in the market, as investors will naturally panic, but it probably won't last long, but I'm a bit skeptical about Iran targeting those companies.

For Bitcoin, I don't think anything will happen, even though the market is currently experiencing a fairly sharp decline, signs of a market downturn occurred before the war, starting in August 2025. During the war, the price of Bitcoin tended to stabilize at around 60,000 to 70,000, proving that Bitcoin remains resilient to current conditions.

Let us just hope that both sides will wake up to their senses and stop this war immediately. It is not them that are actually suffering but the public. Rising commodity prices owed to increasing oil prices.

I expect its a real strategy, attacking any centralized defenceless large asset of high worth is probably on the list.   Their first choice was to attack large buildings of people, so this is better then killing people who have no idea and no involvement in the war.    
  Their reasoning is just an excuse, unsurprisingly many people might want to oppose your regime throwing bombs in all directions against every nation.  So their potential objectors are just about everyone including their own population but nobody is as important as yourself.

   The relevance to BTC is that decentralization as a necessity remains an ongoing theme especially in times of war and with vital infrastructure or terroristic powers are elevated in their leverage.
