IRGC claims it destroyed Amazon's Bahrain data center


MANAMA — The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed on July 21 that it struck and destroyed Amazon Web Services’ data center in Bahrain with cruise missiles, in stated retaliation for the US strike on Iran’s Darkhovin nuclear power plant two days earlier. The claim, carried by IRNA, Tasnim, and Iran International but unconfirmed by Amazon or CENTCOM, would mark the first use of cruise missiles against commercial cloud infrastructure in the Gulf conflict and at least the third kinetic action against the same AWS facility since March.
