US-Iran Data War May Hit Internet in UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia | Firstpost Live | N18G [gVLbYwAaFpN]
A new warning from Iranian state media has shifted focus to a hidden but critical vulnerability in the Gulf, undersea internet cables. Running beneath the Strait of Hormuz, these fibre-optic lines carry nearly all global data traffic, powering banking, cloud services and communications across the region. Experts say even limited damage to a few cables could trigger widespread outages, disrupt financial systems and force massive rerouting of data. The risk is heightened by the clustering of multiple cable systems in the narrow strait, making them particularly exposed in times of conflict. Recent disruptions in the Red Sea have already shown how fragile these systems can be. As tensions rise, the threat to digital infrastructure is becoming as serious as risks to oil and shipping routes.
