Amazon declined to comment on any specific strike, according to the report.
The attack is the latest sign that the conflict between the US, Israel and Iran is spilling into the Gulf’s commercial technology infrastructure.
The development came one day after Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) threatened to target major US technology companies operating in the Middle East, including Amazon, Microsoft, Google and Apple, widening concerns that digital and economic assets may increasingly come into the line of fire.

The Iranian Foreign Ministry also warned that the designation would seriously damage bilateral relations and set a dangerous precedent in interstate affairs, creating international responsibility for the Argentine government.
Argentina’s presidential office said on Tuesday that it had designated the IRGC, justifying the move by alleging that the elite Iranian force has backed the Lebanese group Hezbollah, which Argentina blames for a deadly 1994 bombing in Buenos Aires.
Press TV added that the announcement came amid what it described as continued pressure from US President Donald Trump on allies to designate the IRGC and take part in what it called “joint aggression” with Israel against Iran.
