Iran has launched drone attacks on data centers in the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, targeting commercial digital infrastructure, marking a first in modern warfare. One attack occurred on an Amazon Web Services center, causing a fire and a power outage. These attacks have affected millions of people in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, who were left without access to essential services. Iranian state television justified the attacks as part of a strategy to identify the support of these centers for enemy activities.
Experts emphasize that the attacks could have a major impact on the United Arab Emirates' ambitions to become a leader in artificial intelligence, considering that digital infrastructure is essential for the development of this industry. There is also discussion about the need for missile defense measures to protect data centers, given the increased risks of similar attacks. Iran may continue to target digital infrastructure in the Gulf, which could affect not only the economy but also regional security.
