Iran threatens Elon Musk's companies in Middle East: Iranian state media

In a bold declaration, Iranian state media has reported that all companies associated with Elon Musk in the Middle East, including SpaceX's Starlink internet service, are now considered military targets. This statement comes as Iran seeks to respond to perceived threats from the United States. According to a translated message shared on Fars' Telegram channel, Iran is focusing on 'all interests related to economic holdings managed by Elon Musk in West Asia.' This includes a significant Starlink ground station located in the region. The announcement coincides with heightened tensions, as former President Donald Trump warned via social media that the U.S. would launch a substantial attack on Iran. Trump indicated that the U.S. plans to take control of Kharg Island, a critical hub for Iran's oil exports, along with other key oil infrastructure. SpaceX has yet to issue a response to Fars' claims. As this situation develops, updates will continue to be provided.
