Tehran prepares scenario for damaging undersea internet cables in case of escalation

Tehran's strategy in the event of new escalation

The Iranian side has developed plans aimed at damaging undersea internet cables in the waters of the Persian Gulf. These measures are intended to be implemented in the event that the US and Israel carry out new strikes on Iran.

Risks to global connectivity

According to Reuters, Tehran is considering the possibility of striking the region's critical telecommunications infrastructure. This decision is linked to the potential further intensification of the conflict.

Undersea cables play a key role in ensuring the transmission of a significant portion of international internet traffic. Their damage could have serious consequences, including disruptions to communication between countries and malfunctions in the operation of digital services.
