Iran says it has struck Oracle data center in Dubai, Amazon data center in Bahrain — country has threatened to attack Nvidia, Intel, and others, too

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed to have targeted an Oracle data center in Dubai and an Amazon data center in Bahrain as part of its conflict with U.S. and U.S. tech companies in the region. The IRGC also threatened to attack Nvidia, Intel, and other American corporations. While Dubai officials denied the report, Bahrain confirmed a strike on a facility hosting Amazon Web Services infrastructure. The potential impact on American companies with AI infrastructure in the Middle East is significant, with the financial damage from hitting data centers being much higher than traditional targets like arms factories.
