đź’¨ Abstract

Iran has threatened to attack data centers in the Middle East, including a $500 billion AI data center project called Stargate, in response to U.S. threats and strikes. The U.S. has threatened to hit Iran's civilian infrastructure if it doesn't reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Several data centers, including AWS and Oracle facilities, have already been targeted. Iran also threatened tech companies like Nvidia and Apple.
