Big Tech Secures Employees Amid Middle East Conflict

Nvidia, Amazon, Alphabet and other major tech firms moved staff, closed offices and shifted to remote work after U.S.-Israel strikes on Iran and Iran's retaliatory strikes around March 1, 2026. The disruptions included more than 11,000 cancelled Middle East flights, damage to AWS data centers in the UAE and Bahrain, and a U.S. State Department 'depart now' advisory. Companies urged backups, workload migrations and evacuation support.
