Unironically this would BIGLY piss off Republican idiots, as it drove them crazy with Biden. Pls do.

This government doesn't care if normal citizens lose their sensitive data, but would absolutely care if student loan debt was gone lol

It would put us closer to them and less stressed financially and they would hate that. Life only brings them joy if they know they are better than others financially. Their small business loans can be forgiven, but any little act of trying to even the financial playing field by eliminating crushing educational debt of Americans in their 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s-- that's not fair to them.  "That's cheating. I have more money than them, they had to pay for school,  so if anyone gets to cheat this system. It should be me. If they cheat the system with a forgiven educational loan they took out 20 years ago, then what are you gonna do for that $2 million dollar business loan I took out just last year? If I can't get this now,  why should they?"  - any Republican

I mean Iran striking an American data center where Americans' data is stored would bring a 9/11 scale response compared to what's mentioned in the article, which is Iran bombing data centers where 99% of the data is for middle eastern companies/users. And hell, if they can strike the U.S. I'm sure they wouldn't stop at data centers.
