The IRGC claims Iranian attacks between July 8 and July 21 damaged 44 radar and air defense systems, 44 logistics and support facilities, and more than 75 operational infrastructure targets, including 6 MQ 9 drone hangars, 4 HIMARS launchers, 4 Patriot air defense complexes, 5 fighter jet hangars, 6 missile launch platforms, 12 fuel storage sites, and 17 ammunition depots.
The IRGC also claims 43 aircraft were hit, including 11 fighter jets and helicopters, 17 drones, 8 refueling aircraft, 4 heavy helicopters, 1 F 15E, 1 P 8A Poseidon, and 1 C 17A transport aircraft. It further says an Amazon AI data processing center was struck.
Most of these claims have not been independently verified and should be treated with caution.
Iranian regime media has published what it claims are satellite images of the Amazon data center in Bahrain that was struck during one of the attacks this week.
Iran's army claims Arash drones hit U.S. forces at Sheikh Isa base in Bahrain across several stages, part of the 20th phase of its "Lightning" operation.
The IRGC also claims cruise missiles destroyed Amazon's central data infrastructure in Bahrain, in retaliation for a U.S. strike on civilian sites in Darkhovin.
MacKenzie Scott, the ex-wife of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, has now given more than $26.3 billion to charity. The figure places her among the biggest individual donors in history.
"If we ran Amazon the way New York City runs their school system, the packages would take 6 weeks to arrive, we would charge you a $100 delivery fee and when the package did finally arrive, it would have the wrong item in it anyway."
Sen. Bernie Sanders: "The Wall Street Journal reported recently that Jeff Bezos wants to raise $100 billion to automate factories in America and around the world. In English, you know what that means? It means there will no longer be manufacturing jobs in the United States, or in warehouses. He wants to get rid of the 600,000 Amazon workers and replace them with robots."
