AWS's ME-CENTRAL-1 Region in the UAE is experiencing degraded service due to a localized power issue. The incident comes as Iranian retaliatory attacks intensified following the U.S.-Israeli operation that killed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

The UAE Ministry of Defense reported successful interceptions of Iranian ballistic missiles. The conflict has raised concerns about targeting civilian infrastructure, potentially affecting U.S. investments from companies like Microsoft, which has committed $15.2 billion to AI and cloud data centers in the region. Airspace in the UAE has been temporarily closed as a precaution.
