Tehran has declared its readiness to strike key technological and energy facilities in the region if Iran's infrastructure is attacked.
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has issued a direct public threat to the United States and Israel. The main target in its video message was OpenAI's giant 1 GW Stargate AI artificial intelligence data center located in Abu Dhabi.
IRGC spokesman Brigadier General Ebrahim Zolfaghari, in a special video address, clearly outlined the conditions under which Iran would strike American assets.
“If the US carries out its threats against Iranian power plants, the following measures will be taken immediately in response,” the military spokesman said. “All power plants, energy infrastructure, and information and communication technologies of the Zionist regime and all similar companies in the region that have American shareholders will face complete and absolute destruction,” Zolfaghari said.
The video message shows a camera zooming in on a seemingly empty desert near Abu Dhabi via Google Maps. The caption "Nothing is hidden from our view, even if it is hidden from Google," appears, and the image switches to night vision mode.
The threats against OpenAI facilities came shortly after reports that Iranian missile attacks had already caused critical damage to some of Amazon's cloud service data centers in the region.
Earlier, the Tasnim news agency, affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, published a list of new Iranian military targets , including offices and infrastructure in the Middle East linked to Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Nvidia, IBM, Oracle, and Palantir.
