Iran Targets U.S. Tech Giants in Middle East with Fresh Threats, Signaling Wider Risks Beyond Energy Markets

The IRGC named 18 U.S. tech and finance firms as "legitimate targets" and warned of attacks starting at 8 p.m. Tehran time.

Iranian forces have previously struck AWS data centers in the region, causing outages across the UAE.

The warning highlights a shift from energy chokepoints to threats against data centers and AI infrastructure in the Gulf.

More than 3,000 drones and missiles have been launched at Gulf targets since late February, and casualty figures were reported for both sides.
