๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท| Iran is considering to treat undersea internet cables passing through the Strait of Hormoz as a strategic asset.

According to Fars, the authority Iran is establishing in the Strait of Hormoz will also include global internet cables deep down in the Strait.

These cables carry global internet traffic and financial data. Iran is looking to require permits, charge fees, and have Iranian laws applied to foreign companies, and give Iranian firms technical control over cable management and repairs.
