Iran-Linked Ships Hover Over Subsea Cables in Gulf of Oman
Ships linked to Iran have been hovering over subsea telecoms cables in the Middle East after Tehran threatened to attack cables and data centers if the US and Israel launch a fresh bombing campaign, reported the Financial Times on Friday. At least four vessels tracked by the maritime analytics company Windward have been observed taking unusual routes and loitering over subsea cables traversing the Gulf of Oman in the days after Iran warned of disruption to digital infrastructure if the US escalated the conflict.
