Iran Threatens to Destroy US-Tied Data Center in Abu Dhabi

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has released a video threatening to destroy OpenAI’s planned data center in Abu Dhabi unless the US follows through on its stated threats against Iran’s power plants. The IRGC claims it will retaliate with “complete and utter annihilation” against US-linked energy and technology companies in the region, showcasing an image of OpenAI’s $30 billion Stargate facility under construction. As part of its $500 billion Stargate project, Oracle has invested heavily in the UAE data center, which is set to become a major hub for artificial intelligence research and development. The threat highlights growing tensions between Iran and the US over energy and technological advancements.
