Iran has threatened to attack companies linked to Elon Musk, including Starlink and SpaceX, flagging them as potential military targets, according to Iranian state media, as the United States and Iran remain deadlocked with no official or final agreement to de-escalate the conflict.
CNBC reported that these Musk-linked companies such as SpaceX and Starlink have become targets as part of Iran's retaliation against the US. Iran said that these companies have aided the US in committing war crimes against Iran, supporting high-tech ordnance ranging from aerial attack drones to unmanned surveillance and strike vessels, according to an informant cited by CNBC. The designation of these firms as potential military targets marks a significant escalation in rhetoric against private technology companies operating in conflict-linked infrastructure.
