Iran threatens to cut internet cables near Strait of Hormuz
Original: Iran threatens to cut Hormuz internet cables
Iran has threatened to sever undersea internet cables running through the Strait of Hormuz, a chokepoint through which a large share of the world's data traffic passes. The threat, reported by The Telegraph, would risk disrupting connectivity far beyond the Gulf region if carried out.
Why now: A threat to critical global internet infrastructure comes amid already high tensions in the Gulf.
