Key Points:
- Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has publicly warned the U.S. that any attacks on Iran’s power infrastructure will result in "complete and utter annihilation" of U.S. and Israeli facilities, including energy and ICT sectors.
- IRGC spokesperson Brigadier General Ebrahim Zolfaghari specifically threatened the $30 billion Stargate AI data center in Abu Dhabi, highlighting it as a prime target for retaliation.
- The threats follow reported Iranian rocket strikes that damaged Amazon AWS data centers, causing operational shutdowns, and come amid ongoing tensions and previous warnings against major U.S. tech companies.
- The video released by IRGC emphasizes surveillance capabilities over supposedly hidden facilities and signals potential escalation, though questions remain why more high-profile targets have not yet been attacked.
