On Wednesday, Iran targeted Amazon's cloud computing operations in Bahrain, resulting in a fire at the facility. The Bahrain interior ministry confirmed the incident but did not disclose the company's name, casualties, or damage extent. This attack comes shortly after the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) threatened US companies, including Amazon, in retaliation for joint US-Israel actions against Iran. Amazon's cloud services in Bahrain had already been disrupted due to drone activity in the area, marking the second incident affecting its operations this month.
