Iran threatens to cut Hormuz internet cables
Iran has threatened to cut the underwater internet cables that run through the Strait of Hormuz, according to reporting by The Telegraph. Such a move could disrupt global data traffic, as a large share of the world's internet and telecommunications capacity passes through the strategic waterway. The threat adds to tensions in the region, where Iran has repeatedly signalled it could target critical infrastructure in any confrontation.
Why now: Rising regional tensions have put critical infrastructure like undersea cables in focus.
