Iran Guards threaten to impose permits on internet cables passing through Hormuz

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said Monday that internet fiber optic cables passing through the Strait of Hormuz could be brought under a system of permits as Tehran tightens control over the waterway.

"Following the imposition of control over the Strait of Hormuz, Iran, citing its absolute sovereignty over the bed and subsoil of its territorial sea... could declare that all fibre-optic cables passing through the waterway are subject to permits," the IRGC said, in a social media post.
