An Oracle building in Dubai was hit by falling debris, with no injuries reported, Dubai media office said on Saturday, following Iran’s claims that it had targeted an Oracle data centre in the UAE’s largest city.

The Dubai Media Office posted on X that authorities responded to “a minor incident” caused by debris from an aerial interception.

Earlier this week, the UAE denied claims that Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) targeted a data centre belonging to American tech firm Oracle.

The Dubai Media Office took it to X to dismiss the claims as “fake news.”

The response came after Iranian media reported that the IRGC targeted the data centres of Oracle in Dubai and Amazon in Bahrain. Bahrain’s Interior Ministry said on Wednesday that its civil defense force was “extinguishing a fire in a facility of a company as a result of the Iranian aggression.”

On Tuesday, the IRGC warned that 18 tech firms would be considered as “legitimate targets” in response to US and Israeli attacks on Iran. The list of companies includes 16 US and two UAE-based companies, namely Cisco, HP, Intel, IBM, Dell, Palantir, JPMorgan, Tesla, GE, Spire Solutions, Boeing, and G42. Amazon was not mentioned on the list, but it still got targeted.

“From now on, for every assassination, an American company will be destroyed,” the Guard said on Telegram.

On March 1st-2nd, AWS said two UAE facilities were directly struck by Iranian strikes, which also disrupted a nearby facility in Bahrain.

Tensions across the region have remained high after the US and Israel launched a joint offensive on Iran, killing more than 1,300 people – among them Iran’s then-Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
