Amazon’s cloud computing operation in Bahrain was damaged following an Iranian strike, with Bahrain’s Interior Ministry confirming civil defence teams responded to a fire at a company facility, according to the Financial Times. The attack came one day after Iran’s Revolutionary Guards threatened to target U.S. tech companies operating in the Middle East, including Microsoft, Google, and Apple, in retaliation for strikes on Iran. AWS had already reported a disruption to its Bahrain region last week, making this the second time in a month that Amazon’s Middle East cloud infrastructure has been affected by the conflict.
