Overview
- Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, in a video released Friday and shared widely Sunday, vowed “complete and utter annihilation” of U.S.-linked facilities and named the Stargate AI site in Abu Dhabi.
- The footage zoomed from a globe into the UAE on Google Maps with the line “nothing stays hidden to our sight” and showed simulated night‑vision views of the supposed campus.
- The Abu Dhabi hub remains under construction with phased power goals for 2026, and there is no independent confirmation that the site has been attacked.
- Regional tech infrastructure has already taken hits, with April 2 debris damaging an Oracle data center in Dubai and AWS reporting power disruptions at a nearby facility.
- The project counts OpenAI, Microsoft, Nvidia, Oracle, SoftBank, Cisco, and MGX as backers, and early market reaction has been muted as investors view the threat as localized.
