[Regnum] Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) carried out drone strikes on three Amazon data centers in Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates. The Iranian Fars news agency reported this on Wednesday, March 4.
"Amazon's Bahrain data center, recognized as the largest US data center in the region, has been the target of drone attacks by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps," the agency noted.
The Middle East's largest US data center in Bahrain, opened by Amazon in 2019 to provide cloud services, including AWS Ground Station, was targeted. The IRGC explained that the attack was aimed at Washington's use of these facilities for military and intelligence purposes.
Citing an Amazon report, the agency noted that two centers in the UAE were directly hit, while one in Bahrain suffered severe physical damage, leading to fires and power outages. The company warned of a lengthy recovery period and recommended customers create backups. The attacks were part of a series of IRGC operations against US technology infrastructure in the region.
