Iran has escalated its war against the United States by threatening to bomb businesses linked to billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk across the Middle East, including SpaceX’s Starlink satellite internet network.
According to Iran’s state-affiliated Fars News Agency, authorities in Tehran consider Musk-linked companies to be part of the infrastructure supporting U.S. military operations against Iran.
A report published by the outlet on Thursday claimed that all economic assets associated with Musk in West Asia could be regarded as legitimate military targets.
The report, reportedly shared through Fars’ Telegram channel, cited an unnamed source who alleged that Starlink has been used to facilitate advanced U.S. military activities, including the deployment of attack drones, surveillance systems, and unmanned strike vessels in operations targeting Iran.
The source claimed that Iran views the United States’ recent military actions as war crimes and accused companies linked to Musk of providing support for those operations, according to CNBC.
