The UAE is splitting up its $30bn AI data centre after Iran named it as a target

The UAE is redesigning its $30bn Stargate AI data centre project from a single large campus to multiple smaller sites across the country due to security concerns after Iran named the original site as a target. The new plan includes military-grade protections like underground facilities and air defenses. The first phase of the project, led by G42 with partners including Nvidia and SoftBank, is still proceeding with modifications.
