Is the submission's title "AWS data center hit by Iran" editorialized? Neither the article nor AWS claim it was Iran's doing, it's only heavily implied, and the article's title would've sufficed
I guess AWS status page is never going to say "there's a war", but it says all-but:
> [...] one of our Availability Zones (mec1-az2) was impacted by objects that struck the data center, creating sparks and fire. The fire department shut off power to the facility and generators as they worked to put out the fire.
