Several of these tech giants have investments tied to cable infrastructure in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz, although it remains uncertain whether the cables pass through Iranian territorial waters.<\/p>\n
Questions also remain over how Iran could enforce such demands. U.S. sanctions prohibit major international firms from making payments to Tehran, leading many companies to view the rhetoric as more symbolic than immediately actionable policy.<\/p>\n
Media claimed that at least seven major submarine communication cables serving Gulf countries run through the Strait of Hormuz, including systems such as FALCON, GBI and Gulf-TGN.<\/p>\n
Iran drawn up a mechanism to regulate maritime traffic through a designated route in the Strait of Hormuz and will charge fees \u201cfor the specialized services\u201d provided under the system.<\/p>\n
In this process, only commercial vessels and parties cooperating with Iran will benefit from it, officials said, adding that Tehran will soon unveil the plan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Several of these tech giants have investments tied to cable infrastructure in the Persian Gulf and the Strait…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":119620,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[4],"tags":[40916,4127,16371,102,24376,1445,34,3852,10064,23606,40915,69,603],"class_list":["post-119619","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tehran","tag-cables","tag-cyprus-mirror","tag-fee","tag-hormuz","tag-impose","tag-internet","tag-iran","tag-on","tag-plan","tag-signals","tag-subsea","tag-tehran","tag-to"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@iran\/116596349670155787","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119619","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=119619"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119619\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/119620"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=119619"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=119619"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=119619"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
