Iran Expands Target List To Include Elon Musk's Assets; Starlink Sites To Be Bombed Next By IRGC?

In a stunning and highly volatile strategic escalation, Iran has declared it will now treat all commercial operations, infrastructure, and economic holdings managed by tech billionaire Elon Musk in West Asia as legitimate military targets. This sweeping declaration places SpaceX’s Starlink satellite internet network and its regional ground stations directly into the crosshairs of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' (IRGC) upgraded target banks. Tehran asserts that these private assets have crossed a critical red line, evolving from commercial enterprises into direct state accessories that serve as the technological backbone for recent aggressive U.S. and Israeli actions. Citing high-level defense sources, Iranian state media claims that the United States has committed direct war crimes against the sovereign territory of Iran utilizing these exact private networks, granting Tehran the absolute legal right to execute kinetic and electronic retaliation. #elonmusk #starlink #breakingnews #iranuswar #spacex #irgc #siliconvalley #cyberwarfare #militaryescalation #worldnews2026 Times Of India (TOI) Is The Largest Selling English Daily In The World.
