Iran Strikes Amazon Datacenter in Bahrain, US Base in Jordan in Retaliation
Iran claims it struck an Amazon datacenter in Bahrain and a US military base in Jordan, destroying an F-15 fighter jet and missile defense radar, in retaliation for a US attack on its Darkhovin nuclear project.
Iran has reportedly carried out retaliatory strikes against two targets: an Amazon datacenter in Bahrain and a US military base in Jordan. According to state-linked sources, the attack on the Jordanian base destroyed an F-15 fighter jet and missile defense radar systems.
The strikes come in response to a US attack on Iran's Darkhovin nuclear project. Bahrain hosts a major US naval base, and the Amazon datacenter is a key regional infrastructure hub.
Markets are likely to react to heightened geopolitical risk in the Middle East, with potential implications for oil prices and risk-sensitive assets.
