Apple, Google and Meta now in Iran’s ‘hit list’
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) had threatened America a day earlier that they would target American companies Microsoft, Google and Apple based in the Middle East. Iran has talked about specifically targeting those companies which operate data, cloud or digital infrastructure in the Middle East.
Let us tell you, if there are such attacks on the data centers of Apple or Google in future, then essential services like Gmail, YouTube, iCloud and Google Maps may come to a standstill all over the world, which will cause loss of trillions to the global economy.
