According to 1M AI News monitoring, Iran has warned that, in response to the United States’ ongoing threats and airstrikes, data centers across the Middle East will face further attacks. If the United States continues to threaten strikes against its civilian infrastructure, Iran will retaliate by launching attacks on the region’s energy and technology infrastructure. In a video released by Iran, the footage first shows an image of a globe, and then the camera zooms in on the «Stargate» data center located in the United Arab Emirates, conveying the message, «Nothing can forever stay hidden from our sight, even though Google hides it.»

At present, multiple data centers in the Middle East have already been hit by missile strikes due to the war. Iran’s missile strikes targeted the Amazon Web Services (AWS) data center in Bahrain and the Oracle data center in Dubai. Last week, Iran also singled out technology companies—including Nvidia and Apple—as threats.
