Amazon's Cloud Unit In Bahrain "Disrupted" By Iranian Strike
Just one day after the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps threatened U.S. companies across the Middle East, the Financial Times reported late Tuesday morning that an IRGC strike had damaged Amazon's cloud computing infrastructure in Bahrain.
The FT cited Bahrain's interior ministry, which said civil defense teams were "extinguishing a fire in a facility of a company as a result of the Iranian aggression."
Local authorities did not identify the company, disclose the type of air-delivered munition used, and/or provide further operational details about the strike.
But according to a person familiar with the incident cited by the FT reporters, the damaged site was part of Amazon's cloud computing operation, a reminder that civilian infrastructure, such as data centers and other digital infrastructure, is increasingly exposed to cheap one-way attack unmanned aerial systems.

Amazon Data Centers "Disrupted" Across Bahrain After Drone Activity
Brent crude futures are back in triple-digit territory as fighting in the Middle East continued overnight, even as President Trump claimed that talks are underway with Iran to resolve the conflict, which has now entered its fourth week.
Overnight, the Amazon Web Services in the Bahrain region was severely "disrupted," according to Reuters, citing an Amazon spokesperson, following drone activity in the area. The spokesperson would not confirm whether Iranian drones struck any data centers.
"As this situation evolves and, as we have advised before, we request those with workloads in the affected regions continue to migrate to other locations," Amazon wrote in a statement.
Bahrain News Agency reported on Monday that its armed forces had intercepted and destroyed 147 Iranian ballistic missiles and 282 drones since the start of the conflict.
