An Amazon Web Services (AWS) data center in Bahrain has allegedly suffered another blow in the Iran-US conflict.

Bahrain's interior minister said yesterday, April 1, that the defense force was “extinguishing a fire in a facility of a company as a result of the Iranian aggression,” though did not disclose the firm's name.

According to the Financial Times, citing a person familiar with the matter, it is an AWS data center that was impacted. AWS declined to comment to the FT.

The war has already seen several attacks on Amazon Web Services (AWS) data centers, with two hit by drone strikes in the UAE and a third damaged in Bahrain in early March.

As a result, AWS later sent an email to customers stating that it was "waiving all usage-related charges in the ME-CENTRAL-1 Region for March 2026. This waiver applies automatically to your account(s), and no action is required from you," as per a report from The Register. AWS has since told DCD that the data was not deleted and is available on customer request.

This latest hit comes shortly after Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) publicly named 18 major US tech companies located in the Middle East as "legitimate targets," though AWS was notably left off that list, presumably as it had previously been targeted already.

While Iran has targeted data centers in US-affiliated countries or run by US companies, the country has also had its data centers targeted.

Internet services have also been significantly impacted in Iran, with the government-imposed communications shutdown still being enforced. Doug Madory, director of Internet analysis at Kentik, noted on LinkedIn yesterday that the Internet blackout entered its 32nd straight day.
