Iran Warns of Potential Strikes on Elon Muskās Middle East Assets
Tensions in the Middle East have escalated as Iranian state-linked media warned that Elon Muskās regional infrastructureāincluding Starlink ground stationsācould be considered military targets. While Starlink is a commercial network, its critical role in modern communications and conflict zones has transformed it into a strategic asset.
This reported threat highlights the growing risks for private tech companies operating in high-stakes geopolitical theaters as they become central to global security.

My take in AhlulBayt News Agency English on who has won the war in Iran:
"Iran now controls one of the world's eight key chokepoints. Therefore, it is clear that Iran, as a middle power, has defeated the US, a superpower. Each round of this conflict has left Iran in a stronger position & the US in a weaker one."
Donald Trump did not literally say that the deaths of 18 Americans were āsmall potatoes.ā What he did say may be just as disturbing: he described the entire U.S. conflict with Iran as āsmall potatoes for usā and ānot a big thing.ā That conflict has lasted six months, cost more than $37.5 billion, and killed 18 U.S. service members, according to AP. Those were not statistics. They were sons, daughters, spouses, friends, and fellow Americans whose families will carry their loss forever. A president can debate whether a military operation legally qualifies as a āwar,ā but he should never speak about its human cost as though it were insignificant. Trump has not served in the military, and neither have his children, yet other families are expected to accept deployments, danger, and funerals while their commander in chief reduces the conflict to a dismissive phrase. Perhaps the reality would feel different if the sacrifice came from his own household. If Barron Trump were one of the eighteen Americans who never came home, would his father still call this conflict āsmall potatoesā and insist it was ānot a big thingā?
