Iran warns Gulf cables and data centres could be attacked, state news agency Mehr reported.

Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, discussed targeting regional infrastructure in an interview.

Mehr says rerouting around a damaged cable costs speed and adds latency, and repairs need specialised vessels and time.

Mehr ties the threat to any renewed attack on Iran and names no specific cable or facility.
