The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of Iran has claimed responsibility for a missile strike against a U.S. commercial target in Bahrain, specifically targeting Amazon's data infrastructure. This information was disclosed in an announcement by the IRGC, broadcasted through Iranian media, including the semi-official Tasnim news agency.

Iran's military forces assert that this attack serves as retaliation for recent U.S. military actions against Iranian political infrastructure in the Dar Khobin region. The incident has drawn attention as it relates to ongoing tensions between Iran and the United States, particularly in light of previous disruptions to Amazon's services in the region, with the AWS "me-south-1" region reportedly being offline for several months.

As of now, there has been no official response from Amazon regarding the claim made by the IRGC or details about the operational status of its infrastructure in Bahrain following the reported strike.
