Iran warns of attacking internet and AI sites if war returns
An Iranian security official warned of the possibility of targeting submarine communication cables, data centers, and artificial intelligence facilities linked to the United States in the Middle East if the confrontation with Washington and Tel Aviv were to escalate again. Mohsen Rezaei explained that American technology facilities in the region, especially in the UAE and around the Strait of Hormuz, valued at approximately two trillion dollars, could become targets if war erupts — even though these sites were not previously listed as potential targets. This comes amid stalled efforts to reach a settlement between Tehran and Washington, and it underscores the increasing danger, given the region and the world's reliance on digital infrastructure. Disrupting such infrastructure could lead to widespread disruptions in digital and banking services worldwide.
