Amazon Data Centers on Fire After Iranian Missile Strikes on Dubai

Some AWS services are down in the Middle East. Recovery is unclear as it requires 'careful assessment to ensure the safety of our operators,' according to Amazon.

As long as no innocentworkers just trying to make a living were injured, I'm ok if the machines burn.

Oh man, I don't want to get deep into all the politics involved, but man, this reads like complete non-sense:

The outage comes following Iranian attacks on the UAE as retaliation for US and Israeli strikes on Iran.


If they did specifically target US corporations in UAE, that would make some amount of sense as direct retaliation.
I guess, you can also attack UAE and hope that they pressure the US to stop invading.
But in any case, this seems like a really good way to drag more nations into the conflict, or at least to force them to become active, which is not in the interest of Iran.
