Iran Threatens to Cut Undersea Fiber Optic Cables, Risking Global Internet Disruption

There are fiber optics at the bottom of the sea. These are the veins of the underworld. But Iran, cornered by a joint attack by the United States and Israel, has threatened to cut that'vein'this time. No, they have not issued an official statement. But sources say this is the case. The Strait of Hormuz has been in turmoil since the beginning of the war in West Asia. The oil and gas crisis has reached its peak. But peeping at the bottom of the sea poses a different threat. Just below Hormuz is the main cable for Internet connections. Not only Hormuz, but the Red Sea Strait of Bab el-Mandeb also has these fiber optics. The militant group Houthi has already publicly threatened to tear them down, even though Iran has not said anything officially. The crisis of the Internet means a crisis of civilization. The whole world will be cut off from each other. According to multiple news sources, the subsea internet in Africa has been cut off, and only the fiber cable in Europe now.
