The source claims Iran has taken full control of submarine communications cables in the strategic waterway, a key route for regional and global data traffic.
A report claims Iran has moved to take full control of all seven undersea internet cables passing through the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow maritime chokepoint between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman. If accurate, the development would concern core communications infrastructure rather than a blockchain network, because submarine cables carry large volumes of international internet and telecommunications traffic. The source does not provide technical details, timing, named operators, or confirmation from cable owners or government agencies.
