Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has threatened to attack “economic centres and banks” related to United States and Israeli entities in the region after what it called an attack on an Iranian bank, with the war in its 12th day.
It warned that “people of the region should not be within a one-kilometre radius of banks”.
“As the scope of the regional war expands to infrastructure war, the scope of Iran’s legitimate targets expands,” the agency said. The companies include Google, Microsoft, Palantir, IBM, Nvidia and Oracle, and the listed offices and infrastructure for cloud-based services are located in multiple Israeli cities, as well as in some Gulf countries, said Motamedi.

Honestly the strike on the AWS datacenter was exactly the kind of warfare that Iran can be successful at. Hit the billionaires in the pocketbooks and maybe the US will think twice.
Trump is already trying to spin rising fuel costs at home, by saying it’s almost over already.
You’d think folks would realize that there’s no “almost over” in the middle east. We’ve been there since I was baby. Almost over. Ha fucking ha.
There won’t be peace in the Middle East until the genocidal colony called israel is dismantled
After saying the war could go on for a while.
Ya, then the markets crashed and gas skyrocketed, so like usual……
Blow up the datacenters, Iran. Make the people happy.
Fuck 'em up, Iran.
These tech employees should rest in the knowledge that their noble sacrifice helped to delay the Epstein Files a little bit longer.
That is guranteed to lead to a lot of civilan casulties and might as well be a “we bomb everything” sort of situation. US finance is everywhere after all.
US and Israel opened pandora’s box by violating all rules of war and bombing Iranian banks and infrastructure. So now they find that the same thing can happen to their infrastructure.
These are the main drivers for invasion. Capitalist greed, without a care for human life and well-being. It stands to reason these targets can have an effect, maybe stop the invasion.
Bombing never worked, without a ground invasion. It only pisses of civilians. That is true for the US and Israel as well as Iran. The only result of this is more suffering.
How is it going to lead to civilian casualties? Iran is giving out warnings ahead of time. People can flee, data centres can’t. What is this point about?
It warned that “people of the region should not be within a one-kilometre radius of banks”.
If people actually followed that warning, that would mean emptying every city and town in the Middle East. That is very likely worse, then just staying and hoping that air defence is working and that Iran does not have enough missiles to hit everything. Keep in mind that all countries in the region have a lot of poor people. For some it is the Arab population, for others working migrants.
Israel has bunkers and Iran is too much of a pussyfooter to mindlessly pick off civilian targets. Additionally, America has provided a lot of air defence systems to the middle east.
They are likely not going to strike small venues, rather they will go for obvious strategic centres. After all, their missiles are not infinite.
It’s sort of not the norm to take these warnings at face value, what we’re seeing here is rhetoric intended to intimidate.
Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain and so forth are not part of Israel, but have been attacked by Iran, including attacks on civilian targets like hotels.
dw it’s just iran posturing again, we’ve seen what they’re capable of (flailing about sending drones in every direction) they’re not scary at all
they might be able to rape and torture and genocide their own citizens but outside of that their damage is pretty minimal
This take seems divorced from reality to me.
I mean its obvious the only thing they care about is profit and influence to make more profit hit em where it hurts.
Damn. It’s really hard to find anything about Iran’s response that has been anything but based.
Attacking oil tankers, Amazon data centers, refineries, and now banks.
