Iran plots 'infrastructure warfare' against US tech giants

Iran has reportedly designated Amazon, Google, IBM, Microsoft, Nvidia, Oracle, and Palantir facilities as legitimate targets of retaliatory strikes, according to an Al Jazeera report citing Iran’s state-affiliated Tasnim news agency.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has pinpointed 29 locations in Bahrain, Israel, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates that house offices, datacenters, and research facilities that Iran has set its sights on destroying, according to Tasnim’s Telegram channel.

This comes a week after Iran said it deliberately targeted three AWS datacenters in the region.

The list was presented under the title “Iran’s New Targets.” It included five Amazon facilities, five Microsoft, six IBM, three Palantir, four Google, three Nvidia, and three Oracle buildings.
