While Iran has not officially issued any threats regarding submarine communication infrastructure, speculation has intensified online. Several accounts on X (formerly Twitter) have warned about the possibility of cable damage as geopolitical tensions rise between the United States, Israel, and Iran.
Adding to these concerns, Iran-backed groups—especially Yemen’s Houthi rebels—have previously hinted at targeting fibre optic cables in the Red Sea through their social media channels. Although no direct action has been confirmed, the possibility of deliberate disruption cannot be ruled out amid the ongoing conflict.
