Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) threatened to target American tech companies on Tuesday, claiming they are involved in strikes against Iran.
In a statement published by Tasnim News Agency, one of the Islamic Republic’s state media agencies, the IRGC claimed the companies were “involved in terrorist operations” against Iran. The statement listed 18 companies including Tesla, Palantir, and Microsoft.
Please 🙏
Oh wow, to imagine that this could be the timeline where giant corporations get attacked by militaries instead of creating their own!
well, i guess 30.000 oracle employees caught a lucky break…
Oh no! Please don’t do it! fingers crossed
Good luck, have fun, don’t die.
Is there a gofundme?
Only accepts thoughts and prayers.
Oh, no! Not Palantir! Oh, please don’t hurt them! They’re just a harmless data processing company run by a devout Christian!
If by Christian you mean literally Satan.
SHHHHHHHH!!!
No need to worry man. Palantir is not listed. It’s Plantir that will blow up.
Good
Strange to see something good coming off a war.
I double dog dare you!

More detailed info in this article:
Iranian missiles have struck the headquarters of Batelco, Bahrain’s largest telecommunications company , in Hamala, according to reports from local media. The facility also hosts Amazon Web Services infrastructure, making it a significant target in what appears to be a deliberate escalation of Iran’s stated campaign against US tech giants in the region. Iran has announced it would start targeting US companies. This appears to be the first strike carried out under that threat.
I cannot yet find any specific report of casualties.
