Iran Guards say they targeted Amazon data centre in Bahrain
Iran's Revolutionary Guards said on Friday that they targeted a data centre in Bahrain belonging to Amazon, state media reported.
In a statement aired by state television, the Guards said they had targeted and destroyed what they called an intelligence data centre building belonging to the US company. They claimed the site played a major role in providing information for the US military.
The source reported that neither Amazon nor Bahraini authorities had commented on Iran's claims. It also said the Revolutionary Guards had made a similar claim on Wednesday about targeting the data centre.
Tehran says any facility or base in the Middle East used by the US military for strikes on Iran is a legitimate target for retaliatory attacks.
Uncertainty notes
The Iranian claim has not been independently verified in the supplied material.
Amazon and Bahraini authorities had not commented so far on the claim.
The source does not provide details on damage, casualties or the exact location of the alleged target.
