Iran Names SpaceX Starlink as Military Target, Accuses Musk of Supporting U.S. 'War Crimes'

According to Iran's state media outlet Fars News Agency, Starlink ground stations in Israel, Qatar, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, and Oman, along with SpaceX-related assets, have been designated as new military targets. The Iranian agency cited an informed source stating that the U.S. military, with support from Musk-linked companies, conducted attacks on water infrastructure in Southern Iran.

President Donald Trump warned on Truth Social that the U.S. would strike Iran "very hard" and could take control of key Iranian oil infrastructure. The warning followed a series of military exchanges: Iran shot down a U.S. Army helicopter over the Strait of Hormuz on Monday, prompting U.S. strikes on Tuesday and Iranian retaliatory action on Wednesday.
