The world is nervous: could Iran cut the undersea cables that carry 97% of global internet traffic? đŸ€Ż

If it happened:

Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Iraq, and parts of Iran could face near-total internet blackouts.

Dubai’s banks could freeze—triggering global financial shocks.

Gulf economies might grind to a halt, affecting the fragile U.S. economy.

Internet across South Asia, Africa, and Europe could be seriously disrupted.

Key fact:

Repairing a single undersea cable can take weeks—and only if the area is accessible.

Question:

Are global powers ready for a digital blackout on this scale?
