All power plants, energy infrastructure, and information and communication technology of the Zionist regime, and all similar companies in the region that have American shareholders, shall face complete and utter annihilation,” Iran\u2019s Khatam al-Anbiya HQ spokesman warned in a video message.The video also displayed the text: \u201cNothing is hidden from our sight, though hidden by Google.\u201d It then pointed to the location of Stargate in the UAE, described as an AI computing cluster, and showed a photo of American CEOs of the project’s major partner firms, including Nvidia, OpenAI, Microsoft and Goldman Sachs.A report by the Financial Times said Thursday that Amazon\u2019s cloud operations in Bahrain were damaged following an Iranian strike. According to it, Bahrain\u2019s interior ministry said civil defence teams were \u201cextinguishing a fire in a facility of a company as a result of the Iranian aggression.\u201dThe development follows earlier threats by Iran\u2019s Revolutionary Guards, which had warned of targeting US companies operating in the Middle East, including Microsoft, Apple, Google and Meta. The warning, similar to one issued in March, was directed at 18 US firms, including technology and finance companies.<\/p>\n Poll<\/p>\n Do you support the idea of US companies being viewed as targets by foreign governments?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n In a message posted on Telegram, the IRGC had accused these companies of acting as spies for the US government and helping it carry out strikes. It said, \u201csince the main element in designing and tracking terror targets are American ICT and AI companies\u2026 from now on the main institutions effective in terrorist operations will be our legitimate targets.\u201dLast month, Amazon had confirmed that its cloud arm, Amazon Web Services (AWS), had faced disruption in Bahrain due to the conflict.<\/div>\n\n
