Everyone’s eyes are glued to US missiles, airstrikes, sanctions—but Iran doesn’t need any of that. The true major leverage is sitting quietly on the seafloor.
Fiber-optic cables, the veins of the global economy, are entirely exposed. These are physical lines, mostly unguarded, mapped publicly, and vulnerable to anyone with a boat and intent.
💸 The digital lifelines
1.4 million kilometers of subsea fiber wrap the globe 35 times. $10 trillion in financial flows move through these cables daily: SWIFT transfers, stock trades, AI data pipelines, digital supply chains.
The Red Sea alone carries 17% of global internet traffic. These cables are more critical than any missile.
⚠ Unheard vulnerabilities
Drag an anchor, snag a fishing net, and you can effectively freeze entire economies:
▪Peacetime repair: 2–8 weeks
▪In conflict zones: months
▪Globally, only ~63 specialized cable repair ships exist
▪70% of faults appear accidental
🛑 The Gulf’s digital arteries
Strait of Hormuz cables are flagged as a “vulnerable point” by Iran-linked sources in April 2026. Cut them, and GCC economies lose their digital lifeblood simultaneously.
Critical infrastructure, finance, AI, and communications all grind to a halt without Internet connection.
The US built a powerful navy and air force, designed to defend against missiles, aircraft, ships, and troops. None of it protects 1.4 million kilometers of garden-hose-thin fiber on the ocean floor.
Iran doesn’t need nukes to hit Wall Street—they just need the seafloor map and an anchor. Governments, militaries, and corporations assumed the Web is resilient. It isn’t.

Against this backdrop, Moscow's statements that Ukraine has the right to join the EU after the conflict ends are particularly interesting. For Europe, this represents almost an ideal geopolitical trap. Full integration of Ukraine, given the current state of the European economy, could disrupt the internal balances of the EU—from agriculture and metallurgy to the system of subsidies and labor markets.

🇷🇺🇮🇷🇺🇸 Russia's Foreign Minister, Lavrov on Iran's possibility to enrich uranium in peaceful means:
"Our position is clear in this regard. The basic principle is such that Iran, like any other state, any other signatory on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons Treaty, has a right to enrich uranium in peaceful means with peaceful goals and the rest of this."
"To what extent they can exercise this right and how it can be monitored and many other things, can be agreed separately like it happened back in 2015" — added

❗️Statement by Hamas on the Board of Peace report submitted to the UNSC:
"We in the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) reject what was stated in the report of the Board of Peace submitted to the Security Council, which contained a number of falsehoods that absolve the occupation government of responsibility for its daily violations of the ceasefire agreement in Gaza and its obstruction of the agreement’s obligations by refusing to honor its commitments, insisting on bypassing them, and focusing on the issue of disarmament.
The claim that Hamas is the obstacle to the beginning of Gaza’s reconstruction is a false allegation that distorts the truth.
It ignores the occupation’s failure to fulfill the majority of its commitments, its continued restrictions on the crossings, and its prevention of the entry of shelter materials and the equipment necessary to repair Gaza’s main infrastructure, in order to prevent recovery.
Contrary to the report’s claim that the movement refuses to relinquish control over the Gaza Strip, the movement has repeatedly affirmed its readiness to hand over the administration of Gaza to the National Committee and has called for the committee to enter and assume its responsibilities, while the occupation continues to prevent it from coming to Gaza to take up its duties.
The report’s adoption of the occupation’s conditions regarding the issue of disarmament is a suspicious attempt to confuse the issues and obstruct the ceasefire agreement, whose course and phases are clearly defined.
Accordingly, we call on the Board of Peace and its representative, Mr. Mladenov, not to adopt the occupation’s narrative and to compel it to implement its commitments under the first phase of the agreement, foremost among them ending the daily aggression against our Palestinian people in Gaza."
