Iran Hormuz Cable Threat

Recorded 2026-10-19 · Breaking News

Iran is warning about the undersea internet cables passing through the Strait of Hormuz, according to a new Express report.

The warning puts digital connections alongside shipping in the confrontation over the waterway.

But there is a crucial distinction: a threat to regional communications is not evidence that Iran has shut down the world's internet.

This report reflects the information available when it was recorded. Details may have changed since then.
