Iran has identified the heart of the US-led capitalist system and is
exploiting its vulnerabilities, now listing Palantir, Oracle, and Tesla
among its new targets.
This is the promise the IRGC made Tuesday
<https://substack.com/redirect/c194bab9-d2da-4cab-bc90-80210b8725fb?j=eyJ1IjoibHZwcGIifQ.9RIwWbE6EVIB7Jy8lfazxZKfps8R18neRGMKwOiqnRM>:
“*From now on, for every assassination, one US company will be
destroyed*… Companies that are actively involved in terrorist designs
will be subject to reciprocal action for every assassination.”
Iran set a deadline (now passed at the time of publication) for
Wednesday, 8pm Tehran time, for the US and zionist entity to stop
carrying out assassinations. They urged employees “to immediately leave
their workplaces to save their lives” and “residents around these
terrorist companies in all countries of the region” to “also leave their
locations within a one-kilometer radius.”
The list of 18 companies Iran identified as “involved in terrorist
operations” and therefore “legitimate targets” are Palantir, Nvidia, JP
Morgan, Cisco, HP, Intel, Oracle, Microsoft, Apple, Google, Meta,
International Business Machines, Dell, Tesla, General Electric, Spire
Solutions, G42, and Boeing. Whether it is Meta handing over WhatsApp
data for the IOF to murder Palestinians, Boeing manufacturing the
warplanes used to murder them, or Palantir becoming the digital command
structure of the IOF and US Army, each of these companies is directly
implicated in the Gaza genocide in one way or another.
*Iran understands how modern imperialist wars are waged: an increasingly
privatized digital-financial-military-industrial complex*. The IRGC
statement identified US “ITC and AI companies” as the “main element in
designing and tracking assassination targets.”
Today, the ecosystem of private tech, military, and finance companies
contracted and embedded with the US and zionist forces *provide the
infrastructure for war, even more so than state institutions*, through
cloud infrastructure, AI, data fusion, logistics, semiconductors, and
public narrative control.
This is not a replacement of the old military-industrial complex, but a
merger/organic development: weapons companies remain vital through
aircraft, munitions, and engines, while cloud and AI firms provide the
digital nervous system, and banks underwrite and intermediate war
finance. What is new is not that private contractors exist, but that
they now supply the decision-making architecture of war.
*Iran is taking advantage of the new vulnerabilities this model exposes
for the US and Israel (including, but not limited to)*:
1.
*It creates chokepoints*, with war-fighting capacity now
concentrated in very few corporations that militaries do not fully
control. (Nvidia is a key example here: Modern AI warfare is
structurally dependent on the supply chain of its chips, which are
impacted by shortages of its highly fragile critical inputs, fuel
and helium.)
2.
*It widens the target set*to data centers, regional offices, cloud
nodes, subcontractors, and supply chains.
3.
*Corporate legitimacy is softer *than state legitimacy: employee
dissent, leaks, whistleblowers, and shareholder disputes can disrupt
military support.
4.
Because *these systems are networked and dual-use*, attacks on them
can spill into civilian finance, communications, and commerce.
Iran is hitting the US where it hurts the most. *As a mostly
de-industrialized superpower, the US economy is completely reliant on
its finance, tech and especially AI sectors*, and future strikes on the
major companies listed will enormously degrade the already flailing US
stock market, and ripple to degrade the stock markets of its client states.
As with their new control system of the Hormuz Strait, *Iran is striking
at the heart of US-zionist finance capital and asserting the new
international economic order — not through statements or conferences,
but with militant resistance.*
