Iran launches attack against Amazon cloud data center in Bahrain

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) launched an attack on an Amazon cloud computing center in Bahrain, state media outlet IRNA news agency reported, according to Al Jazeera.
The attack was first reported at 8:30 a.m. PST, the second of two attacks at the Bahrain Amazon facility in the last two days.
Reuters previously reported that, according to Bahrain’s Interior Ministry, civil defense teams were extinguishing a fire at the same Amazon company facility Wednesday following what authorities described as an Iranian attack. No details on casualties or the extent of damage have been released, as of this reporting.
The threats target company facilities and personnel in the Middle East, not U.S. or Washington state locations. But the warning puts two of the region’s largest employers squarely in the middle of a conflict that is already driving fuel prices to historic highs and rattling global supply chains.
