The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) successfully targeted and destroyed the central data infrastructure of the U.S.-based Amazon company in Bahrain on Tuesday using cruise missiles.

The operation, part of the 24th wave of "Operation Nasr 2", was announced by the IRGC's public relations office as a direct and proportionate retaliation for the U.S. missile strike on the under-construction Darkhovin nuclear power plant in Iran. Iranian officials have consistently described Darkhovin as a civilian facility under IAEA safeguards, emphasizing its peaceful nature.

"The aerospace forces of the IRGC carried out this strike in response to the aggression and violation by the child-killing American army against the under-construction and civilian facilities at Darkhovin," the statement read. It further affirmed that additional details on the successful operation would be released in due course.

This decisive action comes days after the unlawful U.S. attack on Sunday, which Iran's Ambassador to the United Nations strongly condemned, demanding that the UN Security Council address this blatant violation of international norms targeting civilian infrastructure. By striking a key node of American corporate data operations in the region, Iran has demonstrated its capability and resolve to expand the scope of its defensive responses when its sovereignty and peaceful projects are threatened.

Analysts note that the targeting reflects Iran's strategic shift toward holding U.S. economic and technological assets accountable for supporting Washington's destabilizing policies in the region. The IRGC has previously warned that entities aiding American and Israeli operations would face consequences.

Iran maintains its right to self-defense under international law, responding proportionately to repeated provocations. As tensions escalate due to U.S. adventurism, Tehran continues to call for de-escalation while asserting that any further aggression will meet even stronger resistance from the resilient Iranian nation and its armed forces.

Further updates on the impact of the strike and subsequent developments in Operation Nasr 2 are expected soon. (ILKHA)
