Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed it struck Amazon data center infrastructure in Bahrain with cruise missiles. The reported attack marks another escalation in regional tensions and could affect Gulf security and technology infrastructure.
According to the IRGC, the strike responded to recent U.S. airstrikes on Iran’s Darkhovin Nuclear Power Plant. The group described the facility as a non-military project under construction and said the target was destroyed.

The IRGC stated several cruise missiles carried out the operation against Amazon’s infrastructure in Bahrain. However, the claim remains unverified, while Bahraini authorities and Amazon had not immediately commented.
Meanwhile, tensions between Washington and Tehran have intensified following recent military exchanges across the region. According to U.S. officials, earlier strikes targeted Iranian territory after an attack on a commercial vessel in the Strait of Hormuz.

Therefore, regional governments and international companies are closely monitoring the evolving security situation. Further official statements from Bahrain, Amazon, and the United States are expected as developments continue.
