Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said it has attacked Amazon’s data infrastructure in Bahrain, according to a statement reported by Fars, an IRGC-linked state media outlet.

Fars News Agency said on Tuesday the IRGC had “attacked the central data infrastructure of the American company Amazon in Bahrain with several cruise missiles and destroyed it,” according to a translated Telegram post.

CNBC was unable to independently verify the information. CNBC has reached out to the National Communication Center of Bahrain and Amazon for comment.

Hostilities between the U.S. and Iran have ratcheted up over the past 10 days as President Donald Trump declared the ceasefire with Iran “over.” Both sides have since launched military strikes.

Tech companies were in the line of fire throughout the earlier stages of this conflict.

In March, apps and digital services in the UAE reported outages following drone strikes on Amazon Web Services’ data centers in the country, with a facility in Bahrain also damaged. In April, the IRGC threatened attacks on a swath of U.S. tech companies with operations in the Middle East, including Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft and Google.

CENTCOM: At 8:15 p.m. ET on July 21, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) successfully completed the 11th consecutive evening of strikes against Iran. CENTCOM assets targeted Iranian military operations centers, maritime capabilities, aircraft hangars, drone storage facilities, and military logistics infrastructure to further degrade Iran’s ability to threaten commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.

Trump: “The Afghan War: 20 years, 2,000 dead. The Iraq War: 9 years, 4,600 dead. The Vietnam War: 19 years and 5 months, 58,220 dead. The Korean War: 3 years and 1 month, 36,574 dead. The Venezuelan War: 1 day, 0 dead. The Iranian military conflict: 4 months, 18 dead.”

@realDonaldTrump

Multiply this by the number of possible months/years. ✖️

Impossible!

Orange Julius Caesar assured us that Iran has no military left. They have been decimated, their nuclear program wiped off the map, twice!

He stopped the war that’s not a war 34 times and when the inevitable ground troops go in, I hope it’s your kids because it sure as hell won’t be his or anyone in his family.

At least gas and grocery prices are down.

I though Steve jobs had a powerful reality distortion field.

Let me ask you this ( because I am detecting a major disagreement from you with what Trump is doing ) — Given the fact that Iran is pursuing a nuclear weapon, are you saying that we should NOT have attempted to stop them at all and simply allow them to have one?

Trump said we “obliterated” the Iranian nuclear program just a few months ago. Was that a lie?

I bet China helped Iran attack Amazon’s data infrastructure. Our elections will be next.

So now you are saying we should allow them to rebuild?

It looks like Amazon needs to retrain their drone operators slightly. Payloads instead of packages.

I assume Bezos can obtain drones that can deliver a 100 lb. punch, if he’d like. That would mess up a cruise missile launcher pretty badly. :-)

It’s a retread (back from the dead) poster. Gone for 7 years and then starts posting again in June.

And screw up, I would guess, hundreds of thousands of sales of Chinese goods?

China has been attacking our election infrastructure for years, along with others.
