Bahrain and US deny IRGC claims of Amazon data centre destruction

Wednesday, 22 July 2026, 07:07 · 1 min read

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has claimed it used cruise missiles to destroy Amazon's central data infrastructure in Bahrain, also alleging it struck US air defence systems and radar installations at Muharraq and Riffa. Bahraini and US officials, along with Amazon, have rejected or not confirmed the claims. The alleged strikes are the latest escalation in a ten-day military confrontation between Iran and the United States, with Tehran warning it will target regional facilities used by US forces if American attacks on Iranian infrastructure continue — including a recent strike on the under-construction Darkhovin nuclear power plant, which Iran has asked the IAEA and UN Security Council to condemn.
