Iran Wants An Internet Toll In Hormuz

Iran is no longer just threatening global oil supplies. Now it’s targeting the infrastructure powering the internet itself. Beneath the Strait of Hormuz lies a massive network of submarine fiber optic cables carrying financial transactions, cloud computing, AI systems, military communications, and nearly a fifth of global internet traffic. Iran now wants companies to pay fees for those cables to pass through its waters. And if they refuse? Tehran could threaten to disrupt them entirely. In this video, we break down: • Why the Strait of Hormuz is critical to the global internet • How underwater internet cables actually work • Why Iran believes it can legally control them • How Egypt already makes hundreds of millions from a similar system • Why the UAE and global tech companies are worried • And what happens if the world starts bypassing Iran completely This is the hidden geopolitical battle over the future of global digital infrastructure. #Iran #Internet #Geopolitics #MiddleEast #GlobalEconomy #WorldNews #Technology #AI #StraitOfHormuz #CyberSecurity #USNews #Politics #Economy #BreakingNews #UnderwaterCables
