KEY POINTS

  • Iran's IRGC claimed it destroyed Amazon data infrastructure in Bahrain, but neither AWS nor U.S. officials have confirmed the claim.
  • Bahrain said it intercepted the attack and did not identify Amazon or any commercial infrastructure among the targets.
  • AWS's Bahrain Region has remained marked as "Disrupted" since the March attacks, making it unclear whether Tuesday's claimed strike caused any new service disruptions.
