Amazon has reportedly confirmed service disruptions at its Amazon Web Services (AWS) centers in Dubai and Bahrain following the Iranian attacks. The company said in an internal memo seen by Big Technology that it expected the “hardened” Dubai and Bahrain AWS centers would be “unavailable for an extended period.” According to the memo, staff have been asked to give ‘priority’ to these areas due to the scale of the damage. Amazon said it is working to help affected customers by moving its services to other regions.

What Amazon’s internal memo says about Dubai and Bahrain AWS centers

“Both of these areas remain patchy, and the services should not be expected to operate with normal levels of redundancy and resiliency,” an internal Amazon memo reads, according to the Big Technology report. “We are actively working to free up and reserve as much capacity as possible in the region for customers, and services should be scaled to the minimum footprint necessary to support customer migration.”“The AWS Bahrain region has been disrupted as a result of the ongoing conflict. We are working closely with local authorities and prioritizing the safety of our personnel during our recovery efforts. We continue to support affected customers, helping them migrate to alternative AWS regions, a large number of which are already successfully operating their applications from other parts of the world,” the company said in a blog post published March 24, 2026. “As this situation evolves, and as we have previously advised, we urge people with workloads in affected areas to continue to migrate to other locations.”The US-Israel-Iran war has now entered its sixth week. Amazon’s Bahrain facilities have been hit several times, including a strike earlier this week on April 1 that led to a fire. The company’s facilities in UAE have also suffered setbacks several times. “We do not have a timeline for when DXB and BAH will return to normal operations,” the internal post said.Last month, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) threatened to attack Microsoft, Google and Apple, among several other US tech giants. “Starting at 8:00 p.m. Tehran time (1630 GMT) on Wednesday, April 1, these companies should expect the destruction of their respective units in exchange for every kill in Iran,” the Guards said in a statement.

New Delhi: Raghav Chaddha counterattacked on saturday Aam Aadmi Party Rejecting the allegations against him, he was removed from the post of deputy leader of the party in the Rajya Sabha and Ashok Kumar Mittal was appointed in his place. Describing the move as part of a ‘written campaign’, Chadha alleged that it was a ‘coordinated attack’ aimed at targeting him. In a video shared on Twitter, he said he would expose “every lie” and respond to every allegation made by the party, ending with a popular line. stalwart: “Ghayal hoon toh ghaatak hoon” (I may be injured, but I am also stronger because of it).“Aam Aadmi Party made three allegations and said that because of these Raghav Chadha should not be allowed to speak in Parliament. I would like to address all three,” he said.He said, “The first allegation is that when the opposition walked out of Parliament, I remained sitting and did not join them. This is a complete lie – a white lie. I challenge anyone to show me even a single instance where the opposition walked out and I did not join them. There are CCTV cameras everywhere in Parliament – bring out the footage and the truth will become clear.”He also rejected the claim that he refused to sign the impeachment motion against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.“The second allegation is that I refused to sign the impeachment motion against the Chief Election Commissioner. This is also false. No party leader ever asked me – formally or informally – to sign it. In fact, many Rajya Sabha MPs from the party themselves did not sign the motion. So why is the blame being put only on me? Moreover, such a motion requires 50 signatures in the Rajya Sabha, and this number could have easily been met. So why the noise?” he said.Taking a dig at the third charge of raising “trivial issues” in Parliament, Chadha said, “The third charge is that I am afraid and hence raise trivial issues. Let me clarify – I did not go to Parliament to shout, create chaos or break microphones. I went there to raise public issues. I have spoken on GST, income tax, Punjab water, Delhi’s air pollution, the condition of government schools, strengthening public healthcare and the problems faced by passengers in the Indian Railways. Along with unemployment and inflation, I have also raised issues like menstrual health, which people often hesitate to discuss. You can check my four-year parliamentary record – I was there to create influence, not disruption.”AAP informed the Rajya Sabha Secretariat on Thursday that Ashok Kumar Mittal has been appointed as the new deputy leader of the party in the Upper House in place of Raghav Chadha.Chadha, who has been a Member of Parliament since April 2022, has often attracted attention by raising major issues in Parliament. Recently, she expressed concern over the practice of “Sarpanch Pati” or “Panchayat Pati”, where women elected to reserved local body seats often remain nominal representatives, while real authority is exercised by male members of the family.He urged the Government to take steps to ensure that women elected to Panchayati Raj institutions are able to exercise real power, in line with the intent of the 73rd Constitutional Amendment.
