AWS Still Cannot Restore Some Bahrain, UAE Cloud Access Six Months After Iran Drone Strikes

The six-month gap between the strikes and this first public update is itself the signal: hyperscaler resilience messaging assumes incidents are transient, and this one is not. The affected regions sit on the corridor Gulf states are pitching for sovereign AI and tokenized-asset infrastructure, so the practical question is whether regional cloud capacity is treated as a single-vendor dependency or a multi-provider one. Whether AWS publishes a restoration timeline, and whether regional buildout plans shift toward redundancy, is the open question.
