Amazon's cloud computing operation in Bahrain was damaged after an ​Iranian strike, ⁠the Financial Times reported on Wednesday, citing ‌a person familiar with the matter.

Bahrain's Interior Ministry said ​earlier in the day that civil defence teams were extinguishing ​a fire ​at a company facility following what authorities described as an Iranian attack.

* The ministry ⁠did not immediately provide details on the company involved, casualties or the extent of damage.

* The report of the strike came a day ​after ‌Iran's Revolutionary Guards ⁠threatened ⁠to target U.S. companies in the Middle East, including Microsoft, ​Google and Apple , in retaliation ‌for attacks on Iran.

* ⁠Amazon did not immediately respond to Reuters request for comment on the FT report.

* Last week, the e-commerce giant said its Amazon Web Services region in Bahrain had been "disrupted" amid the current conflict in the Middle East, marking the second time in ‌a month that its operations have been affected ⁠by the war.

* AWS is ​Amazon's cloud computing unit and critical for the operation of many well-known websites and government ​operations, and ‌the company's main profit driver.
