Iran Plots 'Infrastructure Warfare' Against US Tech Giants

This week, Tasnim News Agency published a list naming U.S. tech firms Google, Microsoft, Palantir, IBM, Nvidia, Oracle, and regional infrastructure as potential targets under the title 'Iran's New Targets'.
After an Israeli strike on a Bank Sepah building in Tehran, IRGC spokespeople argued the attack justified targeting US and Israeli economic centers and warned people to stay one kilometre from banks.
The list identified 29 locations in Bahrain, Israel, Qatar and United Arab Emirates, including five Amazon, five Microsoft, six IBM, three Palantir, four Google, three Nvidia and three Oracle facilities.
Last week, Iranian drone strikes damaged Amazon Web Services datacenters in the UAE and Bahrain, prompting several U.S. tech firms to activate contingency plans and ask employees to work remotely.
Analysts warn that with increasing reliance on satellite and AI-dependent systems, cloud and data systems gain strategic importance as many firms have Pentagon or Israeli military ties, including Palantir’s strategic partnership with Israel.
