Gulf Conflict Damages Amazon Data Center
|
9.2
On Sunday, Iran's retaliatory missile and drone strikes set an Amazon data center in the United Arab Emirates on fire, forcing crews to cut power and leaving the facility offline for more than 24 hours. The attack — part of a wider assault that saw UAE forces intercept 165 ballistic missiles, two cruise missiles, and 541 drones — threatens Gulf plans to become a global AI hub backed by hundreds of billions in pledged investments.
Scoring Rationale
Confirmed physical strike and broad regional implications drive high impact, limited by single-incident evidence and uncertain long-term escalation.
