Iranian media reports potential targeting of Elon Musk-linked assets

Iranian state-linked news agency Fars reported that facilities and companies associated with Elon Musk may be considered military targets by Tehran. The Iranian military alleges that US and Israeli forces utilize Musk’s Starlink satellite internet services for operations. The identified potential targets include Starlink ground stations located in Qatar, Jordan, the UAE, and Oman, as well as firms linked to SpaceX shareholders. An anonymous military source cited by Fars accused the US military of using Musk-affiliated companies to conduct alleged war crimes, specifically citing attacks on water infrastructure in southern Iran this week. Tehran officials stated they reserve the right to strike any installations managed by Musk in the region and in occupied territories. No confirmation of these threats has been provided by international observers or SpaceX representatives. The reports reflect escalating tensions between Iran and Western entities operating in the Middle East.
