🚨 BREAKING:
Iran threatened to cut the undersea cables in the Persian Gulf that provide internet connectivity worldwide.

Community note
Cables in the Strait of Hormuz carry <1% of global bandwidth and mainly serve Gulf states, not worldwide internet. Disruption would hit the region hardest, unlike claims of plunging the entire world into darkness.
