Jamal Meselmani reports that Iran increasingly regards corporate cloud and AI infrastructure as integral elements of Western military operations, citing a circulated list of nearly 30 regional sites linked to firms including Amazon, Microsoft, Google, NVIDIA and Palantir. He argues that projects such as Israel’s Project Nimbus and Gulf data centres tie private tech to intelligence and logistics, raising risks of cyber, physical, and market disruption.
