Major U.S. technology firms are intensifying lobbying efforts as the Iran war disrupts global markets and threatens critical infrastructure, according to CNBC.

Industry insiders said companies are engaging U.S. officials, diplomats, and regional governments to protect assets and plan for escalating risks.

The report said firms across Big Tech, semiconductors, and data centers are increasingly concerned about both commercial and physical exposure.

According to Sean Evins of Kekst CNC, infrastructure such as undersea cables, cloud systems, and data centers in the Gulf faces growing vulnerability.

Recent incidents have heightened concerns. Drone strikes reportedly disrupted Amazon Web Services facilities in the UAE, while Iranian forces have threatened companies including Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft, and Google.

The White House said President Donald Trump’s administration is coordinating with industry to manage disruptions and safeguard long-term economic interests.
