The Iran War: A War With or Against the AI Sector?
The Iran war, which began on Feb. 28 2026, has become a battlefield for artificial intelligence, with U.S. and Israeli forces using AI‑driven targeting systems to strike over 1,000 Iranian sites on day one and thousands more in the following days. Iran has responded by targeting U.S. tech infrastructure, including AWS data centers in the UAE and Bahrain, and by threatening major American AI firms operating in the Persian Gulf. The conflict also disrupts Qatar’s export of liquid helium—accounting for 38% of global supply—critical for cooling semiconductor equipment that powers AI chips. These supply‑chain shocks threaten the massive $700 billion AI‑sector investment pipeline and could raise energy costs for data centers worldwide.
