Iran threatens AI data centers amid US conflict

Iran has issued a warning of further attacks on Middle Eastern data centers, including the significant 'Stargate' AI initiative, in retaliation for potential U.S. strikes on its civilian infrastructure. This threat follows recent missile strikes by Iran on AWS and Oracle data centers in the region. The 'Stargate' project, a massive joint venture involving OpenAI, SoftBank, and Oracle, aims to build extensive AI data centers. The escalating tensions, fueled by the ongoing conflict and U.S. President Trump's threats, have already impacted critical infrastructure and global supply chains, with tech companies like Nvidia and Apple also facing threats.
