Iran-Linked Vessels Surveilled Gulf of Oman Undersea Cables, FT Reports
🌊 SUBSEA — Iran's next move may not need a missile. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Four vessels — three sanctioned tankers, one Iranian — slowed and circled cable routes connecting Gulf states to global finance and communications. Cable cuts are deniable, reversible in narrative, and strategically devastating: severing Gulf financial infrastructure hits Saudi, UAE, and Kuwaiti markets simultaneously. If CENTCOM strikes resume, this is Iran's asymmetric retaliation pre-positioned.
