An American MQ-9 was destroyed over Qeshm Island in Persian Gulf.
This brings the number of drones intercepted by the new Iranian air defence to 5 in the past 48 hours.

How Iran’s retaliatory strikes shattered the (Persian) Gulf’s AI dreams of grandeur
When the US and Israel opened their unprovoked assault on Iran, it responded with calculated retaliatory force.
As it struck US-linked assets and allies in the region, swarms of Iranian drones descended upon the (Persian) Gulf's newest high-value targets - American data centers.
Months later, Amazon Web Services facilities in the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain remain largely offline, clients have been ordered to shift data elsewhere.
Emirati officials once touted OpenAI’s role in a massive five-gigawatt Abu Dhabi complex, yet the deal is stalled,.
The damage has eroded the (Persian) Gulf’s marketed image as a safe haven for AI infrastructure.
The UAE, Saudi Arabia, and other (Persian) Gulf states spent years courting US tech giants with promises of cheap energy, easy permits and limitless capital.
The war on Iran exposed those tech aspirations as foolhardy.
Besides the resolve Iran typically demonstrates, its response demonstrated technical competence:
Drones struck high-value American assets without descending into indiscriminate destruction
Fires, infrastructure damage and subsequent water damage from firefighting left critical systems unusable
Banking apps, corporate platforms and fintech services across the region collapsed
Over 130 computing services in UAE and 140 in Bahrain are still disrupted while only a handful have been restored.
The financial fallout has been brutal:
AI data centers are vastly larger and more expensive targets than conventional cloud facilities. Each gigawatt of capacity can cost $50 billion or more
facilities located within ≈ 322 kilometers of Iran sit in a zone of strategic tension that (Persian) Gulf rulers chose to ignore
proposed solutions such as underground construction or local drone defenses only inflate enormous costs
Amazon and Microsoft have announced plans to launch data centers in Saudi Arabia by the year's end – yet these projects are now shadowed by the same existential risk.

We are officially in super mega panic mode.
First the fake Russia-Ukraine energy facilities ceasefire.
Now the fake "Iran desperately wants a deal" narrative.What a bad day for Donnie. Praying for him. It's a dangerous time for Iran and the world.
A cornered narcissist is a dangerous narcissist, he may go ahead and listen to Netanyahu and use tactical nukes against Iran just to prove he is not weak.

Four oil/liquefied natural gas tankers crossed the strait using the corridor designated by Iran. Three of these four tankers are subject to US sanctions.

This long-form article shows the awfulness of Biden, but also of Blinken, Sullivan, Austin, Finer, who all try to:
- minimize their complicity;
- deflect the blame onto their former manager."Top officials from the previous Administration now express regret over their failure to rein in Netanyahu": https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2026/07/27/how-biden-emboldened-israels-aggression-toward-gaza-and-iran

Iran-linked hackers take aim at U.S. and other targets, raising risk of cyberattacks during war
Mar 12, 2026
"The datacenters need to be taken out," wrote one user, as uncovered by researchers at U.S.-based SITE Intelligence Group. "They host the brains of USAs military communication and targeting systems."

Islamophobic, homophobic, Christian Zionist, war monger Mike Pompeo is really mad that Trump didn't turn Iran into another Libya or Syria.
The chickenhawk monster is calling for an escalation of the war on Iran to protect Israel from any future risk of facing retaliation for their attacks against Iran.
X is full of angry American politicians, on Israeli payroll or just simply upset that Iran is the only country since WW2 who has been able to fight back when they were hit.
I'm sure we are going to see many more of these angry posts about the subject, some from Israeli troll farms or liberals and right wing militaristic loudmouths.

Americans have Hannibal directive too?
Multiple reports indicate that U.S. fighter jets conducted bombings on the southern side of Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad province, likely targeting IRGC or Iranian troops searching for the missing pilot.
Tasnim News Agency confirmed that the strikes took place and stated that the United States is “attempting to kill its own pilot.”

Iran attacked Israeli #NEGEV with one of the latest models of their missiles.
The unit had 4 war heads, each supposedly to carry 100kg of explosives, have ability to seek their target, unlike the ones with bomblets.
video on telegram
https://t.me/newsvideofa/6558PS. CENTCOM is saying that they can only be certain that they destroyed 1/3rd of Iranian missiles not 94% they claimed last week or 95% the week before

The second Iranian missile that hit southern Israel had a 450kg warhead.
IRGC claims the target was the resident of some prominent Israeli nuclear scientists
Israel of course crying victims were civilians.

On a related note... (Sortakinda...)
Data Centers Are Military Targets Now
With militaries increasingly relying on artificial intelligence, data centers have emerged as new targets for strikes.Sam Biddle, March 20 2026,
"The motive behind the attack, according to Iranian state television, was not to block people from ordering groceries or posting to social media, but rather to highlight 'the role of these centers in supporting the enemy’s military and intelligence activities.' Though only #Amazon’s centers are known to have come under fire, a March 11 tweet from the quasi-official Tasnim News Agency listed dozens of regional facilities, including data centers owned by #Microsoft, #Google and others, deemed '#EnemyTechnologyInfrastructure' suitable for targeting.
It’s unclear if the #AmazonDataCenters struck by Iranian drone strikes are used for military purposes or civilian purposes, or both. And it’s unknown if the attacks in any way hindered the militaries of the U.S., Israel, or their allies in the Gulf from using AI or other cloud-based services in their war efforts. But with Amazon, Google, and even Facebook parent company #Meta are all eager partners of the #Pentagon that augment the destructive power of the United States in Iran and elsewhere, server farms may now have the same status as factories building #bombs and #warplanes."

Christian Zionist and former USSC head Mike Pompeo wrote in X about the talks between the Islamic Republic and the United States in Oman that the only acceptable outcome is the destruction of Tehran's nuclear program, ballistic missiles, and support for terrorism, adding: "If you think the Ayatollah will accept it, I have a bridge in Brooklyn for sale."

The U.S. military shot down an Iranian Shahed-139 drone that was approaching the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier in the Arabian Sea, according to a U.S. official cited by Reuters. The drone was intercepted by an F-35 fighter jet after moving directly toward the carrier.

Approximate location of the Carrier Strike Group 3, including the USS Abraham Lincoln, as of 10:00 UTC, 23 January
It's one of the 3 aircraft carriers sent to participate in the planned American bombing of Iran to push for regime change, with ultimate goal to kill Khamenei & destroy Iranian missile capabilities.

Approximate location of the USS Abraham Lincoln, CVN-72, and its carrier strike group:
As of 18:00 UTC the carrier group is off the coast of India's Maharashtra region, and will enter the CENTOM area of responsibility in the next few hours.
The estimation is based on a carrier's average speed in open waters – 30 knots. If it arrives earlier, it would indicate the carrier was 'speeding'.

Hebrew sources:
It is estimated that the American aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln will reach Iran's attack range on Friday.
This ship will be deployed in the Arabian Sea at a safe distance from Iranian cruise missiles.
