Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) recently claimed that it has struck one of the data centres of Oracle in Dubai. The Government of Dubai has denied the attack. In a statement posted on microblogging platform X (formerly Twitter), the Media Office of Government of Dubai called it a “Fake news”.
In another post, it said that the circulating news is “fabricated and untrue”. Earlier today, an AlJazeera report said that IRGC’s navy command has claimed to launch an attack on a data center belonging to the US technology firm Oracle in Dubai. TNotably, the report comes just a day after IRGC claimed credit for an attack on an Amazon cloud computing center in Bahrain. The Bahrain's Interior Ministry then said that civil defence teams were extinguishing a fire at a company facility following what authorities described as an Iranian attack.
