The undersea cables carry a large share of global data traffic between Europe, the Gulf, and Asia. Tehran proposes to impose a toll for submarine cables that provide internet communications. Iran also wants all management and maintenance handled exclusively by domestic companies.
No. Iran has significant terrestrial cables as well as underwater cables. The Gulf states meanwhile rely on cables laid through the shallow and narrow Omani waters, which likely could be cut without affecting Iranian underwater cables, plus Iran has terrestrial redundancy.
The point of this would be to screw with American Big Data.
