The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed responsibility for striking an Amazon data center in Bahrain with cruise missiles, calling it retaliation for US attacks on Iranian infrastructure. The assault occurred during the tenth consecutive night of American strikes against Iran, which lasted approximately five hours early Tuesday.
Iran fired rockets at American radar and defense systems at bases in Kuwait and Bahrain, while the Revolutionary Guard said two oil tankers caught fire attempting to transit the Strait of Hormuz. The British maritime security service UKMTO reported a tanker struck by an unknown projectile off Oman's coast. US Central Command maintained commercial shipping continues through the strait.
The State Department issued a global warning for Americans on July 20 citing elevated Middle East tensions. The Amazon facility was previously targeted in March.
