Iranian strikes damaged three AWS data centers in the Middle East on March 3, 2026, causing outages and prompting recovery efforts.
Three Amazon Web Services data centers in the Middle East—two in the United Arab Emirates and one in Bahrain—were hit by Iranian strikes on March 3, 2026, resulting in structural damage, power outages, and water damage from activated fire suppression systems.
Unlike previous software failures, AWS reported that recovery efforts are in progress with localized disruptions.
Although its infrastructure has redundant availability zones, simultaneous damage across multiple centers in one region could strain capacity, the company advised regional customers to reroute traffic.
Despite built-in redundancies, the incident shows how physical data centers are susceptible to conflict.
