Iran will treat all of Elon Musk’s companies in the Middle East, including SpaceX’s Starlink internet service, as military targets as it retaliates against the U.S., Iranian state media outlet Fars reported Thursday.
Iran is targeting “all interests related to economic holdings managed by Elon Musk in West Asia,” including a regional Starlink ground station, according to a translated post on Fars’ Telegram page.
Starlink has played a key role in U.S. military operations against Iran, supporting high-tech ordnance ranging from aerial attack drones to unmanned surveillance and strike vessels.
Iran asserts the U.S. has committed war crimes against it with the support of Musk-related companies, Fars reported, citing an “informed source.”
“The Islamic Republic of Iran reserves the right to attack all facilities related to [Musk]-managed holdings in the region and occupied territories,” that source said.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has previously threatened other U.S. tech companies, including Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft and Google.
The Fars report came around the same time President Donald Trump warned on his own social media account that the U.S. will attack Iran “VERY HARD TONIGHT.”

Musk will not like this.
That is certain belligerent escalation, and just as stupid as how they started the entire problem by threatening to use their uranium to build bombs. I would take this as a direct threat and reason to raze the entire county of any military and all regime support.
If any aspect of a foreign gov’mt attacks commercial interests then they invite all attacks upon their own commercial interests; like dams, power plants, factories, etc.
Commercial properties are civilian by nature. Attacking them is against the Geneva unless they are collateral damage. Iran going after them takes off the gloves.
Bomb to the 17th century. Oh, and shipping oil is not 17th century. End that.
Maybe Elon needs his own army. Any historical analogies to this?
I’m beginning to wonder if the Iranian people have any fight left in them. They don’t seem to be making any kind of a fuss.
He can afford to buy nukes and he has his own delivery system.
So ,go ahead and make his day Iran.🙄
yup- Musk is light years ahead of these camel jockeys
Iran going to get a rocket like they’ve never dreamed of.
Heathens.

Why? Did Elon Musk or any of these companies attack Iran?
I have grown very weary of the terrorists....Trump just needs to force them all to flee Iran.
There, fixed it
Musk should just start dropping StarLink receivers all over Iran.
Better example
Francesco Sforza (Italian) was a highly successful condottiere who later became Duke of Milan.
