Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has claimed that it targeted Amazon’s data infrastructure in Bahrain with several cruise missiles, saying the facility was destroyed.

According to Iran’s semi-official Tasnim News Agency, the IRGC Aerospace Force carried out the strike against what it described as a key data infrastructure site linked to the US company Amazon.

The IRGC claimed the operation caused major damage to the targeted facility. However, the claim has not been independently verified, and no immediate confirmation has been issued by Amazon, Bahrain or US officials.

The reported strike comes amid rising tensions between Washington and Tehran, with both sides involved in a series of military exchanges in recent days. Iran has said its retaliatory actions targeted facilities and bases it believes are being used by US forces in the region.

The latest developments follow a period of heightened confrontation between the two countries despite diplomatic efforts aimed at reducing tensions. A Pakistan-brokered memorandum of understanding was signed in June between the United States and Iran with the goal of ending hostilities and moving towards a long-term peace agreement.

Regional observers have expressed concern that continued military actions could increase instability across the Middle East and affect key infrastructure and economic activities in the region.
