The entire internet network in Iran has been continuously cut off for more than 4 days.
80 million people are completely isolated from the world.
But this is something no one is talking about: the next target is not another oil refinery.
It’s the UNDERSEA FIBER OPTIC CABLES that actually carry your internet.
HERE’S WHY THIS IS SO SCARY:
→ 95% of all international internet traffic goes through submarine cables.
→ 17 main cables pass through the Middle East — Persian Gulf, Red Sea, Arabian Sea.
→ Iran and the Houthi forces are located right on these strategic choke points.
→ A single cut cable can cause MILLIONS of people to lose connectivity.
→ Saudi Arabia, UAE, India, and Europe all depend on these cables.
IT’S ALREADY STARTED:
→ The Houthi forces have previously sabotaged Red Sea cables (2024).
→ Iran controls the Persian Gulf seabed.
→ Russia cut cables in the Baltic Sea — Iran could do the same in the Gulf.
→ Iran has submarines, divers, and underwater drones capable of accessing these cables.
DOMINANCE EFFECT:
Step 1: Iran or proxy forces cut 2-3 critical undersea cables.
Step 2: Internet in Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain, Qatar — STOPS WORKING.
Step 3: Banking systems freeze. Stock exchanges cannot operate.
Step 4: India loses over 30% of international bandwidth — widespread disruption.
Step 5: Flights connecting Europe and Asia — REDIRECTED, SLOWED, or CANCELED.
Step 6: Global financial markets plunge into chaos — transactions impossible.
Step 7: Desalination plants in the Gulf, which rely on digital systems, are at risk — water supply threatened.
They have already cut power to 80 million of their own citizens.
Do you think they won’t do the same to YOU?
Iran doesn’t need to launch a missile to paralyze half the world. They just need to cut a few underwater cables.
Oil is the first weapon.
Missiles are the second.
Internet is the third.
And right now, no one is protecting those cables. All naval ships are busy escorting oil tankers.
This isn’t fear-mongering. This is the reality of infrastructure.
Save this. Take a screenshot. Because if they cut those cables, you won’t be able to read this anymore.
