Tensions In Middle East 

While he acknowledged tensions in parts of the Middle East, Brennan emphasized the region’s durability and long-term growth prospects, noting that current instability represents a temporary phase rather than a lasting setback.

“Data centre build-out is global in nature. There’s a lot of promise in the Middle East. Short term the feeling is we gotta get through this period of conflict. This is a really resilient region and i think there’s nothing but upside long term for the region.”
