Iran declared Elon Musk’s Middle Eastern assets, including Tesla (TSLA), as legitimate military targets. Iranian state media announced the move amid escalating conflict with the United States. The threat explicitly includes SpaceX’s Starlink ground stations and the social media platform X.
Tehran accuses Musk’s companies of aiding U.S. and Israeli military operations against Iran. Officials allege these entities supported attacks on Iranian national infrastructure.
Designated targets include Tesla physical locations in Israel, the UAE, and Qatar. The list also covers Starlink facilities throughout the Middle East. This designation places regional corporate assets at direct risk within the volatile geopolitical landscape.
