Oracle’s Dubai building was hit by weapon fragments, no casualties.

Iran continues to launch ammunition at targets in the Middle East, and the overseas assets of American technology giants are turning from potential threats into actual losses.

According to CNBC, on April 4 local time, Dubai’s Media Office posted on the X platform confirming that the facade of Oracle’s office building in Dubai Internet City was hit by debris. The debris originated from the interception of incoming flying objects by the air defense system.

Dubai Media Office stated: "This incident is considered minor, with no casualties." Oracle did not respond to requests for comment. A reporter at the scene reported hearing multiple interception noises that evening.

Previously, Xinhua News Agency reported that on March 31, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps issued a statement naming companies and institutions in the Middle East linked to 18 American information communication technology and artificial intelligence firms as targets, including Hewlett-Packard, Apple, Google, Tesla, Microsoft, and others.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps used strong language: "From now on, for every assassination, one American company will be destroyed."

The named companies span technology, finance, defense, and other sectors, including Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft, Google, Cisco, Hewlett-Packard, Intel, IBM, Dell, Palantir, JPMorgan Chase, Tesla, General Electric, Boeing, Spire Solutions, and UAE-based AI firm G42.

In early March this year, Iran attacked Amazon Web Services (AWS) data centers in the Middle East, causing disruptions in multiple applications and digital services within the UAE.

Tech assets may become the new battlefield in conflicts

James Henderson, CEO of risk management company Healix, stated that threats against technology companies are not impulsive, but instead a persistent pattern.

"Tech assets are now regarded as part of the conflict, not as peripheral," he said.

He further warned: "This also suggests that in future crises, data centers and cloud platforms may be targeted in the same way as traditional strategic objectives."

For enterprises establishing cloud computing, data centers, and technology operations in the Middle East, this means that the nature of operational risk is undergoing a fundamental shift—geopolitical conflict has directly penetrated to the level of digital infrastructure.
