I don't know much about geopolitics so tell me if I'm off base but it seems to me if they're making threats it's because the facility is not a high enough priority to actually strike? If they wanted to and had enough ordinance to overwhelm whatever defenses, then they just would right? But they can't/won't so they're hoping to gain advantage without actually spending ordinance? Regardless, it is grimly interesting to watch the next chapter of tech companies becoming increasingly significant in geopolitics.

Being the datacenter is apparently mostly a scam, curious on who concocted an attack as an exit? https://finance.yahoo.com/news/openais-massive-stargate-data...

The underlying source here is https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/iran-threatens-co... . That news story embeds the actual video as well as providing more detailed context about the threat. Can we change the link to that?
