Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed Thursday it shot down an enemy fighter jet over the Gulf and launched strikes on major Western technology infrastructure in the region, as the broader conflict between Iran and the United States and Israel continued to escalate across multiple fronts, APA reports.
The IRGC said its air defenses successfully targeted an enemy aircraft over the south of Qeshm Island, after which the jet crashed into the Gulf between Hengam Island and Qeshm Island. The statement did not identify which country operated the aircraft.
The IRGC's naval command separately claimed it struck an Oracle data center in Dubai and targeted an Amazon cloud computing facility in Bahrain, according to Iranian state media. Neither Oracle nor Amazon immediately responded publicly to the claims, and they could not be independently verified.
