The Kurds, you know, they're against the IDRC and they're going to come in and do this and try and put them in a position where maybe they'd get attacked and then they'd be pulled into it.
So lots of possibilities here.
But I just I would just say I'm not sure what's true about this.
Well, there's a story that Amazon's Bahrain data center has been targeted by Iran because they're supporting the US military.
I know there was a report about them being hit, or at least some of the Amazon data centers being hit in the area.
They were damaged on Sunday.
I think they were all offline at that point, but they had some structural damage, some power and water issues, things like that.
I think there's some people advising that people migrate all their workloads to other regions.
It looks like Bahrain region announced in 2019 that they were gonna start hosting government workloads.
So they are doing something with the government, but we don't know exactly if they're supporting this military effort, but I would just put that in to say,
it's kind of hard to say like, where is Iran going to draw the line between military and civilian?
Because you would certainly think this is not a military facility, right?
It has nothing to do with the military.
It's not, I mean, again, they might be supporting some kind of compute that's supporting some of the things the military are doing.
It's hard to know exactly what's happening and where, but the facility itself is not military.
It's not, you know, housing any soldiers, things like that.
Well, the story is, and I think so, because the story is that they targeted it on purpose for that reason, and it came from a spokesman from Iran.
So yeah, it looks like it was intentional that they were targeting that.
It's been for many hundreds of years, I guess, tradition not to target civilians in military efforts.
Westphalia was the agreement that was made to say, okay, we're going to have a separate military and a separate civilian, and we're not going to attack the civilian part.
