Amazon Web Services (AWS) has confirmed that its data centers in the Middle East were severely damaged by recent drone and missile attacks linked to Iran, forcing operations offline for several months while repairs are carried out. The strikes have disrupted critical cloud infrastructure, potentially affecting businesses and services that rely on AWS in the region. While a tense truce currently holds between the U.S. and Iran, analysts warn that renewed attacks could occur if diplomatic talks collapse. The incident underscores the vulnerability of modern digital infrastructure to geopolitical conflict and highlights the importance of geographic redundancy for cloud services to maintain resilience during crises.
