Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has impacted another data center.

On Thursday, April 2, the IRGC claimed to have attacked an Oracle data center located in Dubai, just one day after threatening some 18 major US tech companies with locations in the region.

Oracle was named among those "legitimate targets."

However, while reports began swirling almost immediately, the Dubai Media Office was quick to dispute the claims, posting a screenshot on X of a tweet from Disclose.TV – a known disinformation outlet that hard reported on the story – calling the story "fake news," and a second post stating "the circulating news is fabricated and untrue."

By April 4, however, the media office was forced to recount its assertion.

The office wrote: "The competent authorities have confirmed that a minor incident resulting from the fall of shrapnel on the facade of Oracle's building in Dubai Internet City has been handled, following a successful aerial interception, with no injuries recorded."

At the time of writing, Oracle's OCI status page suggests all services are operating out of its Dubai region.

DCD has contacted Oracle for comment.

Oracle is not alone in its experience. 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. A later attack caused a fire at the AWS data center in Bahrain on April 1.

An internal memo accessed by Big Technology has since said that both the Bahrain and Dubai availability zones are experiencing a "hard down" and are expected to be "unavailable for an extended period."

The memo wrote: “These two regions continue to be impaired, and services should not expect to be operating with normal levels of redundancy and resiliency. We are actively working to free and reserve as much capacity as possible in the region for customers, and services should be scaled to the minimal footprint required to support customer migration.”

DCD has contacted AWS for comment.

AWS' status page lists operational issues with multiple services from the company's Bahrain and UAE regions. The last published update was on March 3, at the time of writing.
