Iran Threatens Gulf Internet Cables Amid Rising Tensions
US Iran conflict
The US president Donald Trump has warned Iran about another possible attack.
He warned that they could face another military strike if they refused to accept the deal.
The tensions between the countries have been growing.
The president was speaking in a campaign rally in Florida when he mentioned another possible “Epic Fury”.
It follows that one of the American ambassadors warned that the US had the option to carry out attacks over the weekend.
However, it is still unclear what will happen next.
The Iranians have threatened to target undersea internet cables if the Americans and Israelis continue attacking.
Revolutionary Guard official Yadollah Javani warned this on Tuesday. He threatened to destroy the seven undersea cables in the Strait of Hormuz.
Underwater internet cables carry about 99 percent of global Internet traffic, including financial transactions, online business and cloud computing.
If they are damaged, global business transactions could be interrupted for a long time. The insurance costs would skyrocket, and the repairs during wartime would be delayed.
President Trump has warned that the war may end soon.
On the contrary, his latest statement worries many people about the expansion of hostilities.
