Targeting the Cloud: IRGC Claims Strike on Oracle’s Dubai Data Sanctuary

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has claimed it executed a kinetic strike against an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure data center in Dubai as part of a broader campaign targeting US-aligned tech firms; UAE authorities report intercepting missiles and drones on April 1–2 and have not confirmed significant damage, while Oracle's status pages show no service disruption. The IRGC also claimed responsibility for a prior strike on an Amazon facility in Bahrain, which Bahrain acknowledged caused a building fire that was extinguished. Reporting remains ambiguous with limited independent confirmation of infrastructure damage.
