On April 12, 2026, reports emphasized the implications of an April 1 missile strike on the Hamala headquarters of Batelco, Bahrain's largest telecommunications company, which hosts infrastructure for Amazon Web Services (AWS). Bahrain's Interior Ministry confirmed the fire and its cause, noting the strike followed the formal designation of 18 major US technology companies as military targets. Previously, on April 2, the Interior Ministry confirmed civil defense teams extinguished a fire at a facility after an Iranian airstrike. Reports from April 2 further specified that an Iranian strike on April 1 damaged AWS-linked infrastructure at Batelco's Hamala facility. The Financial Times had initially reported on April 1 that Amazon's cloud operations in Bahrain suffered damage from an Iranian strike that targeted Batelco's headquarters, marking what appeared to be the first direct hit on US tech giants after Tehran's threats.
