JAKARTA - The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of Iran announced that it had attacked a data center belonging to the US trading giant, Amazon, in Bahrain in response to the United States' attack on the construction site of the Darkhovin Nuclear Power Plant (NPP).

"In response to yesterday's US attack on facilities under construction and civilian areas in the Darkhovin region, the IRGC has launched several cruise missiles at the main data center infrastructure owned by the US company Amazon in Bahrain, resulting in significant damage," the IRGC said in a press statement on Tuesday, July 21. reported by ANTARA from Sputnik.

Previously on Sunday (19/7), media reported that the US military attacked the location of the construction of a nuclear power plant in the city of Darkhovin, Iran.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said it was investigating the report.

According to the IAEA, they are less convinced that the attack poses a radiological risk.

Tehran and Washington on the evening of June 18, 2026 signed a memorandum calling for an end to the conflict that began on February 28.

However, the US military has launched several attacks on Iran since July 8, 2026.

The Iranian military then retaliated by launching attacks on a number of US military bases in several countries in the Middle East.

Tehran also accused Washington of violating the ceasefire agreement. Furthermore, on July 9, US President Donald Trump stated that the ceasefire had not taken effect.
