An Iranian strike on Bahrain has damaged a facility linked to Amazon’s cloud computing business, according to reports citing officials and company sources.
The incident, reported on April 1, comes amid escalating tensions between Iran and the United States and its regional allies. The Financial Times, cited by Reuters, said Amazon Web Services (AWS) operations in Bahrain were affected by the strike, although the company has not publicly confirmed the extent of the damage.
Bahraini authorities reported a fire at a company facility following the attack but did not officially name the site. The country hosts key US military assets, including the US Navy’s Fifth Fleet, making it a strategic location in the Gulf.
The strike marks a notable development as it appears to impact commercial technology infrastructure alongside military and government targets, raising concerns about the broader economic and cybersecurity implications of the conflict.
