Tagging @Automattic/flow-patrol-create based on issue content

I think this is an issue from Amazon's end.

Although oEmbed API service works:

Their iframe request is set to SAMEORIGIN, which is the problem here:

Need to reach out to the Amazon folks.

I can confirm that it's 100% an Amazon issue. To reproduce on Amazon

Go to https://www.amazon.com/Woman-Splendor-Sorrow-Poems-Poetic/dp/1737296500
Click Embed
Pick "HTML". You'll see the same issue.

I contacted support and waiting for their response.

Another case in 32159515-hc - I let the user know it's on Amazon's side and suggested they use image blocks linking to the product pages as an alternative for now.
