Iran's IRGC Claims Destruction of Amazon's Data Hub in Bahrain Using Missile Strikes

Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed it destroyed Amazon's central data hub in Bahrain with missile strikes, citing retaliation for US strikes on Iranian civilian sites. The IRGC also targeted US air defense systems. Officials from Bahrain, the US, and Amazon have not responded to the claims.

The IRGC stated it used several cruise missiles to strike Amazon's data infrastructure in Bahrain, which had previously been damaged by an Iranian attack earlier this year. The attack was reportedly in response to recent US strikes on Iranian civilian sites. The IRGC also claimed it targeted US air defense systems in the region. Tehran's mission to the UN called for condemnation of US actions at a nuclear site, though no official response has been issued from the US or Bahrain.
