Iran's Revolutionary Guard announced in a statement published by official media on Tuesday that it targeted infrastructure belonging to US-based Amazon in Bahrain.

No official confirmation has been issued by Bahrain. Reuters reported that it was unable to independently verify the incident.

Facilities of the logistics giant Amazon in the Middle East have previously been targeted amid the ongoing conflict in the region, with raids previously targeting Amazon data centers in the UAE and Bahrain.

Raids on data centers, in particular, inflict heavy losses on US companies and host countries, and cause disruption of digital services locally and globally.
