Iran Threatens to Strike $30B Stargate AI Datacenter in Abu Dhabi After Gulf Data Center Attacks
Times of India·high signal
Iran's IRGC issued a warning on April 3 that it may target the Stargate AI datacenter under development in Abu Dhabi — a $30B+ facility operated by OpenAI and Oracle through G42 with planned 5GW capacity. This follows Iranian drone strikes that already hit AWS facilities in the UAE and Bahrain in March, causing service interruptions. Iran justifies targeting tech infrastructure as supporting U.S./Israeli military operations.
