On a more practical level, why???? It takes an enormous amount of ultra pure water to make a micro chip. There is a worsening water shortage in that area. This is the worse place to do this. Also if you built it in the eu, you have easy access to a huge market and ready customers. Also the Middle East is constantly immersed in war. If Iran wants to really hurt Israel just start blowing up Nvidia. On a purely practical level, this is really stupid. So the only explanations are politics, or they are being paid to do this. As to whom engineered this I have no idea. Edit: The more I dig into it, the more this looks like evil bond villain shit.
