IRGC claims cyberattack on Amazon data center in Bahrain following alleged US strike on Iranian nuclear site
The IRGC claims to have targeted an Amazon data center in Bahrain in retaliation for an alleged US strike on the Darkhovin nuclear power plant construction site. The report of a kinetic strike on a nuclear facility remains unverified and represents a significant escalation if confirmed, while the cyberattack claim lacks independent technical corroboration.

Gulf Conflict Escalation: Iran Strikes US Assets, Houthi Red Sea Blockade, Kuwaiti Infrastructure Targeted
Iranian forces have directly targeted US installations in the Gulf, while Houthi rebels have declared a Red Sea blockade, threatening critical maritime chokepoints. Concurrently, Kuwaiti desalination and energy infrastructure have been struck by unconfirmed belligerents, and Indian refiners have suspended Iraqi crude loadings via the Strait of Hormuz due to security risks. The situation indicates a significant escalation in regional hostilities with high confidence, though the attribution for the Kuwaiti attacks and the full extent of Houthi blockade implementation remain uncertain.
