[Iranian Missile Hits Amazon UAE Data Center, Claude Experiences Global Outage] On March 1, Iranian missiles struck the Gulf region, with one hitting Amazon's data center in the UAE, causing a fire and power outage in the facility, disrupting approximately 60 cloud services. Claude, a widely used AI globally, experienced a global outage on the same day as it operates on Amazon Cloud. Anthropic officially stated that the outage was due to a surge in users causing server overload, but social media feedback still reported service unavailability. If it is confirmed that the missile strike is related to U.S. military airstrikes on Iran, this would mark the first time a commercial data center has been physically destroyed in a war. The intensifying global geopolitical conflicts have raised concerns about the physical security of AI infrastructure.
