The Bahrain data center, built in 2019, is the largest American data center in the Middle East and serves as a gateway for Amazon to provide services to Middle Eastern and Gulf countries, particularly for the AWS Ground Station .

Iran's state-run Fars News Agency said the Revolutionary Guards identified the data center as 'supporting enemy military and intelligence activities' and that the drone attack was part of an operation against an Amazon data center in Dubai and strategic locations in the region.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Iranian military, and Iraqi resistance groups all denied involvement in drone attacks against the Republic of Azerbaijan. The Fars News Agency said the Zionist regime (Israel) is trying to break out of a political deadlock by expanding regional conflicts and creating instability.
