Iran Threatens Submarine Cable Attacks in Hormuz, Demands Tech Tax

Iran has threatened to target submarine cables crossing the Strait of Hormuz if war is reactivated, while simultaneously insisting on imposing a tax on Silicon Valley tech companies. The threat escalates pressure on critical global communications infrastructure in a chokepoint already central to energy transit, though the claim is unverified and likely rhetorical. The dual demand signals a broader coercive strategy linking military leverage to economic concessions.
