  • Iran's Revolutionary Guards have claimed responsibility for targeting Amazon's data infrastructure in Bahrain, though there has been no official confirmation from Bahrain.
  • Donald Trump pledged to make Iran pay “many times over” for the deaths of three American soldiers, as U.S. troops continued their tenth consecutive night of attacks.
