Iran has drawn up detailed plans to target undersea communications cables in the Gulf if the US and Israel attack again, Reuters reports, citing Iranian security officials.

That is a more specific claim than a general threat to the cables, which carry communications between countries. Reuters’ supplied report excerpt gives no further detail on the plans or their status. A threat is not an attack, but these routes are part of the infrastructure that keeps the internet connected.

Discuss: Should governments treat threats to undersea internet cables as a reason to invest in alternative routes, even if that means higher costs?
