On July 24, 2026, the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced that its forces had targeted and destroyed an Amazon data center located in Bahrain. This action was officially declared by the IRGC as a retaliatory measure following ongoing US military strikes against Iranian territory. The Iranian military claims that the specific facility was integral to intelligence gathering operations conducted by the United States military.

Neither Amazon nor the government of Bahrain have issued an official response or confirmation regarding the alleged attack. The IRGC asserted that any facility utilized by the US military for operations against Iran constitutes a legitimate target. This follows a broader context of heightened regional tensions, including 13 consecutive nights of US bombings in Iran. Notably, the IRGC had previously claimed responsibility for an attack on the same facility in earlier hostilities, though that report remained unconfirmed by independent sources. As of now, the situation remains fluid with no public statement from the affected parties regarding the status or security of the site.
