According to a report by Gunaz TV, the Tasnim news agency—linked to the IRGC—highlighted the vulnerability of communication infrastructure concentrated around the Strait of Hormuz.

The report noted that at least seven major communication cables pass through this route, which plays a critical role in global data transmission. 

Tasnim warned that the concentration of these cables in a narrow maritime corridor makes the Strait of Hormuz a sensitive chokepoint for the region’s digital economy. It added that these networks are essential for data transfer, e-commerce, cloud services, and online communications across the Middle East, Europe, and Asia.

The remarks were framed as a warning about the potential consequences for regional and global connectivity if such infrastructure were disrupted.
