Iran has expressed its intention to provoke a global crisis affecting both the oil sector and the digital sector. The representative of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Hussein Mohabi, issued a warning to the United States: with further escalation of the conflict, underwater Internet cables in the Strait of Hormuz could be at risk. According to his statement, seven main lines of communication pass through this waterway. Submarine cables carry about 99% of the world's intercontinental Internet traffic. Bank transfers, stock exchange transactions, international payments, as well as the functioning of cloud services, government authorities and corporate communications are carried out through these channels. If cables are cut by the Gulf states, there could be large-scale communication disruptions, difficulties in banking transactions, digital trade transactions and data center operations. Although some traffic will be redirected, the capacity of the backup channels may not be sufficient. In addition, performing repair work in combat conditions is a significant challenge. Satellite systems are not able to transmit information in the required volumes. While a global internet shutdown is unlikely, a regional digital crisis could have a significant negative impact on international financial transactions and business activity far beyond the Middle East.
