As the regional conflict escalates, Iran claims to have attacked a U.S. aircraft and a cloud data center allegedly linked to the e-commerce platform Amazon. Ahn Sung-jin has the details. Amid heightened tensions between Iran and the United States, Tehran claims it shot down a U.S. aircraft. According to Reuters on Friday, citing an Iranian news agency, this would be the second downing of a U.S F-35 stealth fighter over Iran's central territory.

The United States has not confirmed the claim, and no official statement has been released by the U.S. Central Command. This comes following another incident on March 19th, when an F-35 returning from a mission made an emergency landing at a U.S. air base in the Middle East. CNN reported at the time that the aircraft may have been struck by Iran. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed responsibility, stating it had downed the fighter jet.

The Lockheed Martin F-35 is a fifth-generation stealth fighter, used by more than 20 countries and widely known as one of the most advanced combat aircraft. On the same day, CNN reported that the IRGC claimed responsibility for an attack two days earlier on a cloud facility in Bahrain, allegedly linked to e-commerce giant Amazon. Amazon has not confirmed whether the targeted site hosted one of its cloud data centers.
-----------------
The attack reportedly targeted telecommunications infrastructure. A Bahraini official condemned the attack as a "serious and deliberate act of aggression" against Bahrain's territory and its civilians. The IRGC described the strike as retaliation for what it called the "assassination" of Iranian citizens by the United States.

The group had earlier warned of attacks against global technology firms it accused of supporting U.S. operations, naming 17 companies which included Apple, Microsoft, Google and Meta as potential targets. Ahn Sung-jin, Arirang News.
