Iran’s IRGC-aligned outlet threatens to target SpaceX Starlink ground stations and Musk-linked xAI/X facilities in the Middle East

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has said it would treat SpaceX’s Starlink ground stations in the Middle East, its partners, and facilities linked to Elon Musk’s AI and social-media ventures as potential military targets, alleging they support U.S. and Israeli operations. The article says the accusation is not backed by publicly available evidence. It adds that Russia and Iran are deepening cooperation on space intelligence and military matters, and could bring Ukraine-style counter-drone approaches to the Middle East. SpaceX is not publicly listed, and the article does not cite any tradable, shareholder-owned conventional assets tied to the company.
