Iran would only bomb it when attacked. The problem is that Israel is on a course to invade every country around them and be in permanent war forever. So building tech hubs there is like drawing a giant bullseye on the map
Not quite true, they have a Shia version of Trotsky's world revolution, except about final battle against evil and apocalypse.
Please expound.
Well, it is an Islamic Republic. Of Shia denomination. Shia technically believe in apocalypse and in bringing it close by battling devilish forces. Which Iranian leaders usually associate with USA and Israel.
They don't attack. They counter, with great restraint.
Those tech hubs are like body armor for Israel unfortunately. Most are American companies and the investments tend to be in the range of billions. CEOs of those companies have Trump's ear.
Politicians serve businesses and billionaires, not the other way around.
