🔶 Can the Revolutionary Guards cut the Internet cables in the Strait of Hormuz?
The Strait of Hormuz, which in recent months has become one of the main centers of military conflict between Iran and the United States, is now facing a new and different threat. After the ground attack on commercial ships and the disruption of the sea lanes, officials in the Republic of Salami are talking about the possibility of targeting the communication infrastructure in the Persian Gulf.
Hussein Mohabi, spokesman for the Revolutionary Guards, on Monday, October 19, referring to the passage of seven large communication cables through the Strait of Hormuz, emphasized the importance of these routes for the transfer of information and commercial activity, and further warned: "New targets will be revealed. "New weapons will be revealed."
Although Mohabi did not speak directly about the IRGC's decision to destroy the cables, referring to these infrastructures, along with military threats, he raised the possibility of the conflict spreading to the area's communications network.
