TEHRAN, Jun 11: Iran is considering targeting infrastructure linked to companies associated with Elon Musk across the Middle East, according to the IRGC-affiliated Fars News Agency, as tensions with the United States continue to escalate.
Fars reported that Iranian authorities are reviewing the inclusion of assets connected to Musk-led companies, including SpaceX and Starlink, in a new list of potential military targets. The move reportedly follows claims that US and Israeli forces have utilized infrastructure managed by Musk during ongoing military operations.
According to the report, Starlink ground stations in Israel, Qatar, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates and Oman are among the facilities being considered. Infrastructure linked to SpaceX shareholders, including Alpha Dhabi and Mubadala, was also named as a potential target.
The report comes amid growing concerns over the possibility of expanded US military action against Iran, particularly involving Kharg Island, the country's most important oil export terminal.
Separately, Ebrahim Azizi, head of the Iranian Parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, warned that any attempt by the United States to seize or attack Kharg Island would trigger a historic response from Tehran.
His remarks followed recent comments by US President Donald Trump, who said he would prefer targeting or taking control of Kharg Island rather than striking civilian infrastructure such as bridges and power plants.
Azizi described Trump's statements as "delusional" and insisted that Iran's military capabilities on Kharg Island remain strong.
"The country's armed forces are at the highest level of readiness, and security across all parts of Iran has been strongly ensured," Azizi said.
He added that any "miscalculated" action by Washington would be met with a response that would be "recorded in history."
Kharg Island handles the majority of Iran's crude oil exports and is widely viewed as one of the country's most strategically important economic assets.
