Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has claimed responsibility for a series of attacks targeting Amazon infrastructure in Bahrain and U.S. military sites in Jordan. According to the IRGC-affiliated Tasnim News Agency, cruise missiles destroyed Amazon's central data infrastructure in Bahrain.

The IRGC also asserted that it had targeted U.S. military installations in Jordan, claiming to have destroyed a missile defense radar system and a U.S. Air Force F-15 fighter jet.
