You've heard of the Strait of Hormuz — that narrow chokepoint where 20% of the world's oil flows through every single day. Block it, and global energy markets collapse.
But here's what most people don't know — running along the bottom of that same strait are submarine fiber-optic cables. The ones carrying your emails, your financial transactions, your cloud data… between Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.
Iran's state-linked media just floated a plan. A pretty audacious one. They want to turn the Strait of Hormuz into a digital chokepoint — just like the oil one. Foreign cable operators would need permits from Tehran. They'd pay transit fees. They'd hand over maintenance and management to Iranian companies. Iran is calling it one of its new "digital power levers."
