Key summary
Senior Iranian security officials have disclosed plans to target undersea communication cables in the Persian Gulf if the United States or Israel launches another military attack on Iran. The threats include severing seven major internet cables through the Strait of Hormuz and potentially damaging digital infrastructure linked to the US, such as data centers and AI facilities. Analysts note that while global internet traffic through the Strait of Hormuz is less than 1%, attacks could disrupt regional connectivity and complicate repair efforts due to wartime conditions.
