The ongoing tensions in the Middle East involving the United States, Israel and Iran are reportedly expanding beyond military targets. According to reports published by Tasnim News Agency, Iran has released a list naming several major American technology companies whose regional offices and infrastructure could become potential targets.

The report suggests that the conflict may increasingly focus on technology and digital infrastructure linked to military operations.

Big Tech Firms Allegedly Named

The list reportedly includes offices and facilities linked to major U.S. technology companies such as:

• Google

• Amazon

• Microsoft

• Nvidia

• IBM

• Oracle

• Palantir Technologies

Iranian media claims these companies’ technologies are allegedly being used by Israel and its allies for defense, intelligence, and surveillance operations.

Locations Mentioned in the Report

According to the report, the potential targets include offices, data centers and cloud infrastructure located in several regional hubs, including:

• Israel

• Dubai

• Abu Dhabi

• other parts of West Asia

Analysts say modern conflicts increasingly involve cyber infrastructure, cloud networks and data centers, making technology companies strategically significant.

Reports of Data Center Attacks

Some reports circulating in international media suggest that an Amazon Web Services (AWS) data center may have been targeted in recent drone attacks.

Amazon Web Services facilities in Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates were reportedly affected, leading to fires and temporary service disruptions, according to claims cited in media coverage.

However, details about the incident and its scale remain unclear and not fully verified.

Shift Toward Infrastructure Warfare

Security experts note that modern warfare is increasingly expanding beyond traditional battlefields.

Digital infrastructure such as:

• cloud computing centers

• communication networks

• AI systems

• satellite services

can play a major role in military coordination and intelligence operations.

Because of this, technology companies have become strategically important assets during conflicts.

Reports about tech companies being placed on Iran’s target list are based on statements from Iranian media sources. Independent confirmation and official responses from the companies or governments involved remain limited.
