Iran may be preparing sabotage against major underwater internet cables in the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea, jeopardizing global digital infrastructure. This is reported by sources cited by the media.
According to experts, about 17% of the world's internet traffic passes through these communication hubs. Damage to them could lead to widespread disruptions: from loss of connectivity and access to online services to malfunctions in banking systems and government platforms.
Experts note that restoring damaged cables in these regions will be extremely difficult due to their depth and the unstable situation, and repairs could take months. This threatens prolonged interruptions in global communications.
Currently, international security organizations are analyzing potential risks, as such attacks could become a tool for pressure and lead to the partial isolation of entire regions from the global internet.
