Iran threatens to cut undersea cables in Strait of Hormuz
Original: Iran's threat to cut undersea cables in Strait of Hormuz poses a threat to Gulf
Iran has threatened to sever undersea telecommunications cables running through the Strait of Hormuz, a chokepoint through which much of the Gulf's internet and data traffic passes. Analysts warn such an attack would disrupt communications and economies across Gulf states, adding a digital dimension to Tehran's pressure tactics in the region alongside risks already facing shipping lanes there.
Why now: Rising regional tensions are focusing attention on Iran's ability to disrupt critical infrastructure that Gulf economies depend on.
