[b]👁 What If Iran сuts the undersea internet cables in the Strait of Hormuz? If Gulf States continue to host American forces, Iran could target the undersea internet cables threading through the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea. These chokepoints carry roughly 17–30% of the planet's international internet traffic (depending on exact routing between Europe, Asia, Africa and the Middle East). What happens if several major cables are deliberately severed (or even heavily damaged) in a serious escalation? 🌏Near-total international internet blackout across Gulf states Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, UAE, Saudi Arabia, parts of Iraq would lose almost all external connectivity. Local intranets, cached YouTube/Netflix (if already downloaded), and some domestic banking apps might limp along for a while. But anything needing real-time global reach (WhatsApp calls abroad, Instagram, most cloud services, international Zoom) would collapse within hours. 🌏Massive global slowdown The cables in the Persian Gulf + Red Sea corridor are one of the planet's true digital chokepoints. Even partial damage would spike latency worldwide, cripple cloud services (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud regions in the Gulf and beyond), slow streaming, break real-time trading, delay software updates, and make remote work from many regions painful or impossible. 🌏Repair times measured in months Fixing a single deep-water cable requires specialized cable ships. In 2024–2025 Red Sea incidents, one cable took ~5 months because repair vessels couldn't safely approach. In open conflict or a closed Strait of Hormuz, those ships simply won't be allowed in. We're talking 6–12+ months of degraded service. Global implications 🔶 Stock exchanges (including oil futures) paralyzed or forced onto backup satellite links with tiny capacity 🔶 Airlines, ports, logistics chains frozen without global coordination 🔶 Massive outages in fintech, e-commerce, payment gateways 🔶 AI / hyperscale data centers in UAE & Saudi Arabia become isolated islands 🔶 Noticeable internet slowdown in India, Pakistan, East Africa, parts of Europe 🔶 International payments (SWIFT, cards, crypto exchanges) start failing or incur huge delays 🔶 Remote work for thousands of companies grinds to a halt 👍 US-Israel-Iran war | @geopolitics_prime[/b] 1 Like

[b]🇵🇰⚔️ Pakistani separatists hail US-Israeli strikes on Iran, call for escalation Separatist groups in Pakistan's Balochistan province, notably the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA), have publicly welcomed recent US-Israeli military strikes on Iran. In a statement, the groups urged the attackers to be "more effective, coordinated and result-oriented.” 👉 The endorsement comes amid a major surge in militant violence. In late January and early February 2026, the BLA orchestrated one of the deadliest insurgent campaigns in Balochistan in recent years. In coordinated assaults across multiple districts, militants targeted government installations, killing approximately 36 civilians. In response, Pakistani security forces launched large-scale counter-insurgency operations. According to official reports, the operations resulted in the deaths of at least 216 militants, while 22 security personnel were also killed. Balochistan, a resource-rich but underdeveloped region, is home to the Baloch people, an Iranian-speaking Sunni ethnic group. The region is divided across three countries: 🔴 Pakistan: Home to the largest Baloch population, estimated at around 12 million. 🔴 Iran: Hosts approximately 5 million Baloch, primarily in its Sistan and Baluchestan province. 🔴 Afghanistan: Includes a Baloch population of about 3 million. Both Iran and Pakistan face ongoing insurgencies from various Baloch separatist groups. These organizations share the proclaimed goal of carving out an independent "Greater Balochistan" from the territories they inhabit. 👍 US-Israel-Iran war | @geopolitics_prime[/b] |

⚡️🇺🇸🇮🇷 Joe Kent, the now ex-director of the Counter-Terrorism Center in the Trump administration, just resigned from his position. "I cannot support the ongoing war in Iran with a clear conscience. Iran has not posed an imminent threat to our nation, and it's clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel," He said.
