The escalation of the situation in Iran has affected the technology industry, and American tech giants are intensifying their lobbying efforts to address risks On April 17th, according to CNBC, as the Iran conflict continues to escalate, American technology companies are significantly increasing their lobbying efforts against the government to address risks such as asset security, supply chain disruptions, and infrastructure damage in the Middle East. According to sources, relevant companies are simultaneously liaising with officials in the United States and the Middle East, including the White House and the Pentagon, to promote policy support and develop emergency plans to reduce the impact of war on business. The conflict has had a substantial impact on the technology industry. In March of this year, Amazon Web Services' data center in the United Arab Emirates was attacked by drones, resulting in the interruption of multiple digital services in the area. In early April, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard further threatened to strike American technology companies operating in the Middle East, including NVIDIA, Apple, Microsoft, and Google. At the same time, secondary shocks at the supply chain level are gradually emerging. The export of helium gas, a key chip manufacturing material, is restricted due to the war, which may further pressure the construction of AI and data center infrastructure. Industry insiders point out that if the conflict continues, it will significantly increase the uncertainty of data centers and AI projects in the region. The US side stated that the government is maintaining close communication with the industry to alleviate short-term shocks and support long-term economic recovery. Analysts say that the core demands of technology companies have shifted from traditional policy games to asset security and operational stability, including requiring the government to provide clearer security guarantees and deterrence measures. Overall, geopolitical conflicts are spreading from the energy and finance sectors to technological infrastructure, becoming important variables affecting the global computing power and AI industry chain.
