Assets and infrastructure linked to companies owned by Elon Musk in the Gulf and Israel are being reviewed for inclusion in Iran’s list of military targets, Iranian media said on Thursday, Anadolu reports.
Fars News Agency said the move is being considered following what it described as evidence that US and Israeli forces have used infrastructure operated by Musk-linked companies, including the Starlink satellite network and the X social media company, in attacks against Iran.
Fars said previous reports had revealed military cooperation involving Musk-linked projects, including Starshield and the launch of military satellites used for earth observation, encrypted communications and secure data transmission.

The agency said infrastructure associated with Starlink in Israel, Qatar, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates and Oman, as well as SpaceX-related facilities and investments, were among the assets under review.
An unnamed source cited by Fars claimed that the US military, with support from companies linked to Musk, had been involved in actions, including attacks on water infrastructure in southern Iran.
The source said Iran “reserves the right to target facilities linked to holding companies under Musk’s management across the region and in Israel.”
