>>why an amazon data center in bahrain,
That I can answer, most of the communications in the ME including official government stuff, regional logistics and some military planning go through clusters of computers in local data centres, destroying those data centres causes logistic issues to the kingdoms of the ME, you can't say that the US can blow up a civilian bridge with the excuse that it can be crossed by the military and the Iranians can't blow a data centre because it might be used by civilians to download porn off the internet.
