Offices and infrastructure of major US technology companies in Israel and some Gulf countries face potential Iranian attacks as tensions rise in the Middle East. Iran’s Tasnim News Agency, linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, has identified these American companies with Israeli connections as possible targets due to their alleged military technology use.
The list of targets includes Google, Microsoft, Palantir Technologies, IBM, Nvidia, and Oracle Corporation, as reported by Al Jazeera. These companies have operational offices in various Israeli cities and parts of the Gulf region, with Google headquartered in Dubai and Microsoft having a significant presence in Abu Dhabi.
Iran has also issued warnings about economic centers and banks associated with US and Israeli entities in the region becoming vulnerable. Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters, reportedly owned by the IRGC, stated that recent strikes have enabled Iran to target such financial institutions, cautioning residents to avoid these locations.
Recent tensions have escalated following Iranian counterstrikes in response to coordinated attacks by the US and Israel. Iran has retaliated by targeting US-linked assets in the region and cautioning Gulf nations aligned with Washington. Concerns over energy security have heightened due to Iran’s blockade of the critical global energy shipping route, the Strait of Hormuz, impacting major Asian importers like China and India.
