Undersea fiber-optic cables are a critical component of global internet infrastructure, carrying a significant portion of international internet traffic. Estimates suggest that 95% to 99% of global internet traffic, including data for tech giants like Google, Meta, Microsoft, and Amazon, traverses these cables. The Strait of Hormuz is a particularly important digital corridor for these cables, connecting Europe, Asia, and the Persian Gulf, and supplying internet to Gulf countries and Egypt. Over 20 key undersea fiber-optic cables pass through the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea, serving as vital bottlenecks for global data, finance, and internet traffic.
In 2025, there were internet disruptions in the Middle East and South Asia due to undersea cable cuts in the Red Sea. These incidents caused significant slowdowns and affected countries such as India, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. Microsoft acknowledged that its Azure cloud services experienced increased latency as a result. While the exact cause was not always clear, concerns were raised about potential targeting of these cables in regional conflicts, with some incidents suspected of sabotage by Houthi rebels. Repairs for such damage can take weeks, and regional tensions can complicate these efforts.
