CNN reported on August 3 that the US-Iran conflict is revealing the fragility of global artificial intelligence data centers. The report said that data centers that provide computing power support for the future of the global economy's most critical technology are increasingly being targeted. The US has launched an attack on Iran's data centers, and Iran has also attacked data centers in several neighboring countries. Data centers have long been the focus of cyber attacks, but the 2026 outbreak of attacks on their physical level is unprecedented. According to the article's statistics, Iran and the US have carried out attacks on at least five data centers in the Gulf region, including Iran's second attack on an Amazon data center in Bahrain at the end of last month. Amazon declined to comment, but its Amazon Cloud Services dashboard shows that services in the region have been interrupted since the data center was first attacked on April 30. Satellite images also showed that the cloud service facility had been severely damaged.
