🚨 SABOTAGE? IRAN-LINKED SHIPS SPOTTED OVER CRITICAL UNDERSEA INTERNET CABLES At least four Iran-linked vessels, including three U.S.-sanctioned tankers, have reportedly been conducting suspicious maneuvers near critical underwater communications cables in the Gulf of Oman. According to the Financial Times, maritime intelligence firm Windward identified vessels slowing, circling, reversing course, and switching off tracking systems near cable routes. The activity follows explicit Iranian threats to attack Gulf internet cables and digital infrastructure if the U.S. or Israel launches further strikes. These cables are critical to internet connectivity, financial transactions, and cloud services across the Gulf. The question: Is Iran mapping potential sabotage targets while simultaneously negotiating with Washington? Experts caution that the movements could have innocent explanations. No sabotage has been confirmed. Sources: Financial Times | Windward Maritime Intelligence
