Now read about the official denial posted below which was
originally issued by the Iranian government:

Iranian state media has explicitly claimed that Bahrain and United Arab Emirates (UAE) data centers were targeted** because of their support for “U.S. military and intelligence activities.” While Iranian officials have denied targeting “civilian targets” more broadly, state-affiliated agencies reported the strikes as part of retaliatory actions following U.S. and Israeli military operations.

Denial and Official Stance

The Iranian government’s position on these strikes has been characterized by conflicting reports:

• Targeting Denials: Iran’s general staff of the armed forces has denied targeting civilian infrastructure and oil sites, despite documented strikes hitting these locations.
• Specific Claims: Conversely, the Iranian Fars News Agency stated on Telegram that the AWS Bahrain facility was targeted specifically for its perceived military support roles.
• Diplomatic Messaging: Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi told Qatari officials that Iranian missile attacks were directed solely at “U.S. interests” and not at neighboring Gulf states themselves.
