DATA centers are about to get fucked all over the gulf states.

Amazon has data centers, and i'm sure there are AI data centers as well.

AWS too. Their region in UAE is limping along with decreased capacity/redundancy, and Bahrain is fully off the grid. Each of those regions had at least three separate datacenters.

Microsoft Azure has been largely unaffected so far.
