TEMPO.CO, Jakarta Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced it had attacked a data center belonging to U.S. e-commerce giant Amazon in Bahrain in response to the United States' attack on the Darkhovin Nuclear Power Plant construction site.

In a statement issued on Tuesday, IRGC said it had launched several cruise missiles at the infrastructure of a major Amazon data center in Bahrain in retaliation for what it described as a U.S. attack the previous day on facilities under construction and civilian areas in the Darkhovin region. The IRGC claimed the strike caused significant damage, ANTARA reported.

Earlier on Sunday, July 19, media reported that the U.S. military attacked a nuclear power plant construction site in Darkhovin City, Iran.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said it was investigating the report. According to the IAEA, they are less certain that the attack posed a radiological risk.

Tehran and Washington on June 18, 2026, signed a memorandum calling for an end to the conflict that began on February 28. However, the U.S. military has launched several attacks against Iran since July 8, 2026.

The Iranian military then retaliated by launching attacks on several U.S. military bases in several countries in the Middle East. Tehran also accused Washington of violating the ceasefire agreement.

Then on July 9, U.S. President Donald Trump declared that the ceasefire was no longer in effect.
