Iranian Officials Warn Gulf Internet Cables Could Be Targeted After US-Israeli Attack

Iran has drawn up plans to target undersea internet cables in the Gulf if it comes under a US-Israeli attack, according to two Iranian security officials.

The officials said there would be “no red lines” in Iran’s response, identifying submarine cables and military bases as potential targets.

They said the scope could extend to secret military bases, indicating that any retaliation would not be limited to publicly known installations.

The warning was conditional on an attack against Iran. The officials’ account did not specify which cables or bases could be targeted, or how such operations would be carried out.
