Yes. Both me-south-1 and me-central-1 have been _heavily_ impacted/disrupted for nearly a month now due to drone strikes on infra.

as if they started the war, as if they killed their leaders themselves. Ofc they are being boomed in the desert, have not lost anything. US and Isreal has the most valuable things or only them considered human beings? Oh, rest of the people living in the world, they should be grateful to US and Isreal to let them live.

> foreign governments will now consider you a legitimate military target

Iran has been very liberal with what it considers military targets. There is no evidence rejecting military work has protected anyone from it.

The Iranians have considered anyone doing business with the Israelis a "legitimate target" since 1979.

> US tech companies have large manufacturing footprints in the region

Yes in Israel and part of the West Bank (the Mellanox founder tried to expand Nvidia's footprint in the region until his daughter was murdered at Nova).

Outside of Israel, not really excluding data centers which are leased.

That said, most tech companies have already been operating in Israel for decades under constant barrages already (eg. Had a family friend who was working at the Intel fab when Hezbollah was attempting to shell it during the 2006 war and the AWS skyscraper was targeted by an ISIS suicide bomber 2 years ago but foiled).

In most cases, we in the US were already being targeted by Iranian APTs before this conflict and before 2023.

> if the Iranians can pull this off, they would discourage further investment in Israel

For much of tech, the calculus hasn't changed for investing in Israel. It's hard to find similar ecosystems for cybersecurity, defense tech, chip design, and some aspects of material sciences.

And those regions that are complementary (eg. Czechia, Poland, India), the companies are either Israeli operated or Israeli funded.
