I think this is an AI image that misrepresents the scale of the attack
In the APNews report webpage such a striking image as this was not included anywhere and Amazon was quoted as characterising the damage like this:
"
“These strikes have caused structural damage, disrupted power delivery to our infrastructure, and in some cases required fire suppression activities that resulted in additional water damage,” AWS said in an update on its online dashboard.
"[1]
This hardly sounds like the complete destruction in this image
And there are several strange details
• Most of the walls have been destroyed except exactly how much was needed to show the amazon web services logo
• Despite part of this wall section being destroyed the logo wall-facade segments have been damaged rather than falling off segment at a time
•The green vans look to be ambulances painted in british ambulance colors depsite UAE typically using blue and white vans (red for critical patients)[2]
•The van behind that one is too small to be the same model, and the car behind looks ridiculously small compared to the other vans
•There is a person standing in the rubble on the right for no discernable reason, and their head is either obscured or missing
•The architecture decision to include a tiny strip of windows on the right side of the building is slightly unusual
•The Burj Khalifa tower appears to be missing from the Dubai skyline
If you must use AI generated images please at least tag them as such so as to not spread misinformation

Iranian drone strikes damaged three Amazon Web Services sites in the Middle East, exposing how vulnerable cloud data centers are in conflict. AWS said late Monday that drones directly hit two data centers in the United Arab Emirates and another site in Bahrain suffered damage after a drone landed nearby. AWS later said recovery work in the UAE was making progress. An expert said that Amazon typically configures its services so that the loss of a single data center would be relatively unimportant to its operations. He said the attacks are a reminder that cloud computing isn’t “magical” and still requires physical facilities that are vulnerable to disaster scenarios.

An investigation into the death of a #Palestinian teenager in an Israeli prison has been closed by an Israeli judge, who said even though it’s clear the boy was starved, the cause of death is undeterminable, a newly-unsealed court decision has revealed.
The ruling provided insight into #Israel’s handling of the case of 17-year-old Walid Ahmad, which gained notoriety because he was the first Palestinian under 18 to die in Israeli detention, said Palestinian officials.
Ahmad, who was described by his family as a healthy teenager, spent six months in Israel’s Megiddo prison before he collapsed in March 2025.

A newly unsealed sentence from a court ruling reveals that an Israeli judge acknowledged that a Palestinian teen had been starved in Israeli prison but stopped an investigation into the case. The judge said he could not prove the starvation led to the teen's death. The decision was partially unsealed after Israel's left-leaning daily called Haaretz filed for it. Haaretz shared the ruling with the AP. The document sheds new light on Israel's handling of the flashpoint case.

#Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum on Wednesday said Mexico will continue to have Cuban doctors work in the country at a time when other nations across the Americas have ditched their agreements with #Cuba’s government in the face of mounting #US pressure.
“It’s a bilateral agreement that helps #Mexico a lot,” said Sheinbaum in her morning press briefing when asked if she would uphold the agreement or give in to pressures by the #Trump administration.
The leader’s support of the Cuban #medical program comes as US President Donald Trump has suffocated Cuba by effectively cutting the island off from #oil imports and has sought to isolate the #Caribbean nation in an effort to push for regime change.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said her country would continue to have Cuban doctors work in Mexico. It comes a time when other nations across the Americas have ditched their agreements with Cuba’s government in the face of mounting U.S. pressure. The leader’s support of the Cuban medical program comes as President Donald Trump has sought to isolate the Caribbean nation in an effort to push for regime change. The U.S. wants to end such missions, with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio calling it “forced labor” and a “form of human trafficking.”
The Iran war is exposing how much the global economy still depends on fragile fossil fuel supplies. The conflict has virtually choked off the Strait of Hormuz, a vital shipping lane for a fifth of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas. That's shaking up markets and pushing prices higher. Countries reliant on imported fossil fuels — from wealthy industrial economies to poorer developing nations — are facing major disruptions that can quickly ripple through utility bills, food prices, transport costs and electrical grids. Analysts say the crisis is a stark reminder that energy security is not just about stockpiles and shipping, but also about the lagging transition to renewable energy.
