Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed on Thursday that its navy launched a strike on a data center belonging to US technology firm Oracle in Dubai.

In a statement posted on X, the IRGC said: "We launched attacks on data centers of two US [tech] companies, Oracle in Dubai and Amazon in Bahrain. We warned earlier that our actions in response to the killing of Iranians will be aimed at stopping the terror machine." The group described the actions as a first warning, threatening more severe punishment for additional companies if aggression against Iran continues.

The Dubai Government Media Office quickly denied the reports, labeling them as "fake news" with no basis in fact and urging the public to rely on official sources amid heightened regional tensions. Neither Oracle nor the UAE authorities have confirmed any damage or disruptions at the facility.

Oracle operates cloud infrastructure regions in the United Arab Emirates, including UAE East in Dubai and UAE Central in Abu Dhabi. The company has not issued a public response to the IRGC's claim as of Thursday evening.

The purported strike follows similar IRGC assertions earlier in the day about hitting an Amazon cloud computing center in Bahrain, where AWS previously reported service disruptions from attacks in the region. It comes after the IRGC issued threats on March 31 against 18 US tech firms operating in the Middle East, including Oracle, Microsoft, Google, Apple, Nvidia, and others, accusing them of aiding US and Israeli military operations.

Iranian state media framed the actions as retaliation for recent assassinations of Iranian figures, part of the 37th wave of attacks against Israel. Previous incidents include strikes on AWS data centers in the UAE and Bahrain in March, which caused outages and structural damage.

The claims have circulated widely on social media and in international outlets, but remain unverified independently. Regional tensions have escalated with US and Israeli actions against Iranian targets, prompting Tehran to expand its retaliatory rhetoric to include economic and technological infrastructure.
