IRGC Claims Cruise Missiles Destroyed Amazon's Bahrain Data Center
IRGC Claims It Destroyed Amazon's Bahrain Data Center
The IRGC announced a cruise missile strike on Amazon Web Services' Bahrain data center, marking the third attack on the facility this year. This retaliation targets commercial cloud infrastructure in response to US strikes on Iran's Darkhovin nuclear plant, signaling a dangerous escalation where civilian tech assets are treated as military objectives in the Gulf conflict.
By suppressing air-defense installations and striking the commercial target in a single coordinated operation, the IRGC treated a data center as a military-grade objective warranting the same operational planning it applied to radar and interceptor batteries.
