Iran has issued warnings of additional assaults on data centers throughout the Middle East in retaliation for ongoing threats and air strikes from the United States. The Iranian military declared that if the U.S. proceeded with attacks on its civilian infrastructure, it would respond by targeting American energy and technology assets in the region, as stated by spokesperson Ebrahim Zolfaghari in a widely circulated video. That video features a globe that zooms in on the Stargate data center in the United Arab Emirates, accompanied by the statement, “nothing stays hidden to our sight, though hidden by Google.” Stargate represents a $500 billion collaboration between OpenAI, SoftBank, and Oracle aimed at constructing AI data centers worldwide.
