Iran Guards say they targeted Amazon data infrastructure in Bahrain

Iran's Revolutionary Guards said they targeted infrastructure belonging to US company Amazon in Bahrain, according to a statement carried by state media and reported by Reuters.

The claim came as Iran's IRGC also said it struck a complex housing US soldiers in Jordan's Al-Rukban region, according to Fars news agency. The IRGC claimed the Jordan strike killed several personnel.

What did Iran's Revolutionary Guards target in Bahrain?

Iran's Revolutionary Guards said they struck infrastructure operated by Amazon in Bahrain, according to a statement carried by state media and reported by Reuters. The Guards did not immediately specify which Amazon facility was hit or provide evidence of damage. The claim adds a new target to Iran's list of reported strikes across the Gulf, which already includes air defense systems and a radar installation at two US outposts in Bahrain.

What did Iran claim about strikes in Jordan?

Iran's IRGC said it targeted a complex housing US soldiers in Jordan's Al-Rukban region, claiming several personnel were killed. Fars quoted the IRGC as saying its Aerospace Force fighters struck "the terrorist and child-killing US Army forces" in the area. The Guards also said a US missile defense radar system and an F-15 aircraft in a hangar in Jordan had been destroyed.

The claim adds to earlier reports of Iranian strikes on Jordan. Jordan's military had previously said its air defenses intercepted three Iranian missiles targeting the kingdom, reporting no injuries or damage, a account that differs from the IRGC's latest claim of casualties and destroyed equipment.

What did Iran strike in Kuwait?

Iran's army said separately that it targeted "three major US bases in Kuwait" using kamikaze drones. According to state broadcaster IRIB, the targets included administrative buildings and direction-finding antennas at Camp Arifjan, a helicopter parking area at Camp Al Udairi and troop accommodation facilities at Ahmad Al Jaber Air Base. The Guards also said they halted two "non-compliant oil tankers" attempting to use an unsafe southern route through the Strait of Hormuz, causing explosions and fires aboard the vessels.

How has the US responded to Iran's attacks?

The claims came after the United States said it carried out overnight strikes against Iranian military command centers, air defense systems and missile launch sites. US Central Command said the strikes targeted Iran's command centers, maritime capabilities, and missile and drone launch sites, aiming to curb attacks on commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. President Donald Trump warned Iran it would pay "many times over" for every American soldier killed, after the deaths of at least three US soldiers in recent days brought total American fatalities in the conflict to 17.

The Pentagon said nearly 100 US servicemembers had been wounded since July 7, when a US-Iran ceasefire collapsed, most with minor concussions. "Every time Iran kills an American Soldier they will pay for that killing many times over!" Trump wrote on Truth Social.

Is the conflict spreading beyond Bahrain, Jordan and Kuwait?

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said the confrontation had entered a new phase, stating, "The reality is that today the Islamic Republic of Iran is engaged in a full-scale war." Yemen's Houthi movement separately threatened to blockade Saudi ports, a move Saudi Arabia condemned while reaffirming support for Yemen's internationally recognized government.

The fighting has also disrupted shipping around the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway linking the Persian Gulf to global markets. The UK Maritime Trade Operations agency reported that sailors abandoned a vessel that caught fire after an attack in the strait. UKMTO later reported another vessel struck near the strait off the UAE coast, while a separate tanker was hit by an "unknown projectile" off Oman, with crews reported safe.

Despite the escalation, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei said diplomatic exchanges with Washington through mediators were continuing. "Ideas have been conveyed to us by certain mediators," Baqaei said.
