Iran threatens to cut undersea internet cables in Strait of Hormuz
Original: Iran's threat to cut undersea cables in Strait of Hormuz poses a threat to Gulf
Iran is threatening to sever undersea communication cables running through the Strait of Hormuz, a move that would disrupt internet and data connections for Gulf states heavily dependent on the routes. Analysts warn the threat highlights the region's vulnerability, as most of the Gulf's global connectivity relies on a small number of submarine cables passing through the strategic waterway.
Why now: Rising regional tensions have put critical undersea infrastructure and Gulf states' digital dependence in the spotlight.
