Today's Lianhe Zaobao reports: "The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran has warned that if more Iranian leaders are killed through 'targeted eliminations,' starting from Wednesday evening (April 1) Tehran time at 8 PM, leading U.S. technology companies—including Apple, Google, and Meta, the parent company of Facebook—will be locked as targets for retaliation."
Commentary: By listing Apple, Google, and Meta—major American tech companies—as targets, Iran is essentially engaging in a tit-for-tat response driven by desperation. If the U.S. uses advanced technology and intelligence capabilities to conduct targeted assassinations against Iranian leadership, Iran will directly strike the most critical and prominent high-value American enterprises within your technological ecosystem. This serves as both a warning to the U.S. that further aggression will come at a higher cost, and a message to the world that modern warfare is no longer just about guns and cannons—technology firms and digital infrastructure have become unavoidable key components in geopolitical conflicts.
