Ships loiter near subsea cables amid Iran's warnings to Trump
Jeremy Hsu reports for Ars Technica that Iran-linked tankers have been loitering over subsea Internet cables near the Strait of Hormuz, which six active cables cross and four countries depend on entirely. The report suggests the ships may be preparing to attack the cables, and Iranian officials have warned they could, while Windward told the Financial Times the ships may be "mapping the cable routes, or placing charges or mines on them while dark."
