Iran threatens to cut internet cables near Strait of Hormuz
Original: Iran threatens to cut Hormuz internet cables
Iran is threatening to sever undersea internet cables that pass through the Strait of Hormuz, according to a report in The Telegraph. The strait already carries much of the world's oil, and cutting the cables there could disrupt internet connectivity far beyond the region. Commentators see it as an escalation of Iran's use of critical infrastructure as leverage amid ongoing tensions.
Why now: The threat targets critical global infrastructure at a time of heightened tensions with Iran, raising fears of widespread internet disruption.
