AWS Data Centers in UAE and Bahrain to Take Months to Repair After Iranian Drone Strikes
Amazon Web Services said its data centers in the UAE and Bahrain will require several more months to repair after Iranian drone strikes damaged facilities in March 2026. The AWS regions ME-CENTRAL-1 and ME-CENTRAL-1 remain unable to support customer applications, with full recovery potentially taking up to six months. Billing operations remain suspended during restoration, after AWS waived $150 million in March charges. An internal document revealed 14 EC2 server racks were knocked offline with additional flooding and cooling system failures.

Data Center Developer Pauses Middle East Investments After Iranian Attack Damages Facility
Pure Data Centre Group has paused all Middle East project investments after an Iranian missile/drone attack damaged its Abu Dhabi facility, forcing Silicon Valley investors and tech companies to reconsider a trillion-dollar plan to build AI and cloud data centers in Gulf countries. The April attack on Pure DC's Yas Island campus was a near-miss, while AWS data centers in the UAE and Bahrain were directly struck, causing widespread cloud service disruptions. Amazon waived $150 million in customer charges for March 2026, with operators bearing uninsurable war damage costs under civil law frameworks.
