Iran has issued a strong warning amid escalating tensions in the Middle East.
 Iranian officials stated that undersea internet cables connecting Gulf nations could become targets if those countries continue to support or protect United States military operations in the region.
 Submarine internet cables are considered critical global infrastructure, carrying the majority of international data traffic and communications between continents.
 Analysts warn that any disruption to these cables could have major consequences for global communications, financial systems, and regional stability.
 The statement adds another layer of tension to an already volatile geopolitical situation involving Iran, the United States, and several regional allies.
