Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) threatened to target American tech companies on Tuesday, claiming they are involved in strikes against Iran.

In a statement published by Tasnim News Agency, one of the Islamic Republic’s state media agencies, the IRGC claimed the companies were “involved in terrorist operations” against Iran. The statement listed 18 companies including Tesla, Palantir, and Microsoft.

    To be clear: I hope no innocent people die.

    but also: Innocent people in Iran have certainly died by our choice not to update target info (killing school children with a direct hit we should have known better) and by our inaccurate weapons (we’re killing lots of civilians).

    So it’s hard to argue if Iran strikes these tech companies, especially if they time it to, say, the middle of the night when there would be just a few people there.

    Basically, I can’t condone or support innocent people dying, but it’s hard to argue that it would be a war crime for them if it’s not a war crime when we hit civilians.

        How about america shouldn’t have started it by bombing children in a school? How about they shouldn’t have then carried it on by once again bombing children in a school and sports hall?

        I think Iran saying they’ll bomb data centres is pretty tame when compared to having schools and more schools (plus sports halls where children are) being bombed, especially when it’s all just to distract the world from a certain orange cunts decades of raping other children!! FUCK.
