BREAKING: Iran has drawn up plans to target undersea communications cables in the Gulf if the US and Israel launch another attack on Iran. Iran could then try to prevent repairs, potentially keeping internet and communications disruptions in place for longer – Reuters If cables in the Strait of Hormuz are cut: • Gulf countries could face widespread internet outages and severe connectivity problems. • Banks, payment systems, cloud platforms and businesses could suffer major disruptions. • Government, military and emergency communications could also be affected. • Multiple cable cuts could isolate parts of the Gulf from global internet networks and cause a broader regional communications crisis.
