Iran Warns US Tech Firms Could Become Targets as War Expands

[SamuelTheThird]

Major US technology companies have been named as potential targets as the war between Iran, Israel, and the United States begins to spill into the digital infrastructure that powers modern economies.

Iranian state-linked media this week published a list of offices and infrastructure run by US companies with Israeli links whose technology has been used for military applications. According to Al Jazeera, the companies include Google, Microsoft, Palantir, IBM, Nvidia, and Oracle. https://www.wired.com/story/iran-warns-us-tech-firms-could-become-targets-as-war-expands/

1. You locate your firm in Israel, you take your chances n/t

3. They're talking about US corporate locations.

Not the offices in Israel or elsewhere in the Middle East.
According to ABC news, the FBI has "revealed" Iran has plans for surprise sea based drone attacks on US locations.

Suspect Silicon Valley is as much a target as any military base or facility.

On edit, attacking Billionaire strongholds might impact the future prosecution of the war far more than attacking military facilities.
How many average people will get all up in arms about AI data centers being bombed?

Kegsbreath, *Rump and their buddies see the Military as sacrificial pawns anyway - but if X, Nvidia or Oracle HQs get blowed up, that's a Day in Infamy!!!!
