On July 21, 2026, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced a missile strike on an AWS data center in Bahrain, claiming it destroyed the facility. This action is purportedly in retaliation for a U.S. military attack on Iran's Darkhovin nuclear plant. The IRGC stated that the strike involved several cruise missiles. AWS services in Bahrain have been offline for months, with the region marked as 'currently unavailable' on the AWS Health Dashboard. The ongoing U.S.-Iranian conflict has led to significant disruptions in AWS operations, affecting various hosted services. Iranian state media previously indicated that AWS infrastructure was targeted following U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran in February 2026. AWS has advised customers to migrate workloads to other regions due to the ongoing instability. The situation highlights the escalating tensions between the U.S. and Iran, with implications for cloud service availability in the region.
