Iran is laying mines because Trump and Epstein laid minors.

Iran threatens ‘complete and utter annihilation’ of OpenAI's $30B Stargate AI data center in Abu Dhabi — regime posts video with satellite imagery of ChatGPT-maker's premier 1GW data center

Mods: example of threat, not pushing propaganda. It's a credible warning.

Yes, Tom's frickin hardware!!

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has issued a clear public warning to the U.S. that any damage inflicted on Iran’s power infrastructure will be met with decisive retaliation. Specifically, IRGC spokesperson Brigadier General Ebrahim Zolfaghari threatened the “complete and utter annihilation” of U.S. and Israeli facilities. The ‘hidden’ $30 billion Stargate AI datacenter in Abu Dhabi was singled out as a juicy target for Iranian destruction later in the video. The threats come on the heels of Iran reportedly delivering enough damage via rocket strikes to some Amazon AWS data centers that they have shut down.

snap if you don't want to go there.



Above, you can see and hear Zolfaghari make the headlining threats against U.S. action in Iran. “Should the USA proceed with its threats concerning Iran’s power plant facilities the following retaliatory measures shall be promptly enacted,” declares the military spokesperson. “All power plants, energy infrastructure, and information and communications technology of the Zionist regime, and all similar companies within the region that have American shareholders shall face complete and utter annihilation.”

After the remarks from Zolfaghari, the video switches to a shot of the Earth from space, which zooms into Abu Dhabi on Google Maps. A zone not far from the coast is then centered on, showing an apparently ‘empty’ area of desert. However, a message is overlaid on this bleak view, stating “Nothing stays hidden to our sight, though hidden by Google.” The video then switches to a ‘night vision’ view of the same area of the map with the full extent of the Stargate AI datacenter in Abu Dhabi clear to see.

...or supposedly says? Those murderous, homophobic, patriarchal, theocratic, Jewphobic bigots aren't people I care to hear from. Every right thinking progressive or liberal wants them gone.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

― Sun Tzu, The Art of War

Guess who is in favor of TWO regime changes ? (for starters. I have this list ..... )

The attack on their citizenry has only hardened control of the country by fanatics. "We're here to rescue you. Pay no attention to your homes, schools, nuclear plants and water plants being obliterated"

I lost some karma points to the trolls on Hacker News by pointing out the control of the world by narcissistic, sociopathic fiends thanks to all the idiots who fell for their racist, misogynist, nationalist, religious fanaticism.

If such "leaders" could fight a cage match with grenades at two paces, great, but they won't do it,

Easier to kill innocent civilians. It's not a "Stamp"; it's a fucking DEmerit badge they earn, all of them.

Blowing up OpenAI's megaplant? It actually is a credible threat and would have consequences.

Hmm, I posted this earlier today, Not my style.



And have a GREAT 14,000th post!
