Investing.com -- Amazon.com Inc. said Tuesday it cannot restore access to some data stored at facilities in the Persian Gulf that were damaged during the US-Iran war.

The company posted an update to the Amazon Web Services status health page stating it cannot access data hosted exclusively in data centers in Bahrain and in parts of its network in the United Arab Emirates.

The facilities were damaged early in the conflict. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said the Bahrain facilities were struck because of Amazon's support for US military operations.

Satellite imagery showed hits to two Amazon data centers in Bahrain. The damage exceeded what the company's services were designed to withstand, AWS said in its first public update in five months.

Most customers moved their workloads to server farms in other countries between the first strikes in March and subsequent damage in April that knocked out Amazon's data center network in the country.

In the UAE, Amazon said most customers restored operations in other regions by relying on backups or copying data that remained accessible. The company said it cannot access data stored in one of its UAE availability zones. Engineers continue to work on recovering resources in two other availability zones.

Amazon said it remains committed to supporting customers in the two countries and promised a further update on Bahrain early next year. The company also operates data center clusters in India, Israel and several European countries.
