Everyone’s watching the Strait of Hormuz for oil tankers. Nobody’s watching what’s on the ocean floor beneath it. They should be because Iran just made a move that could affect every person on earth with a phone, a bank account, or a job.
🧵Quick geography lesson most people never learned. 97% of the world’s internet doesn’t travel through satellites. It travels through fiber-optic cables laid on the ocean floor.
Cables thinner than a garden hose carrying the entirety of global communication, finance, and commerce. There are seven of them running through the Strait of Hormuz.
🧵Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, the IRGC, just declared sovereignty over all seven of those cables. Their demand is foreign operators must obtain Iranian permits to maintain infrastructure on the seabed.. Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, Google. All of them would be required to pay “protection fees” to the IRGC just to keep the internet running through the Strait. That’s not a metaphor. That’s the literal demand.
🧵To understand why this matters, you need to understand what moves through those cables daily.
☑️ $10 trillion in global financial transactions.
☑️ Every wire transfer.
☑️ Every stock trade.
☑️ Every international payment.
☑️ Every email.
☑️ Every cloud backup.
☑️ Every video call.
All of it pulsing through fiber-optic lines sitting on the floor of a war zone
🧵Here’s what makes this genuinely terrifying. On April 22, weeks before this announcement, Iranian state media began publishing detailed maps.. cable routes, landing stations and regional data hubs across the Persian Gulf.
Analysts who study infrastructure warfare have one two words for publishing that kind of detail in the middle of a conflict. Those two words are target preparation
🧵If you think Iran wouldn’t follow through, look at the Houthis in the Red Sea. In early 2024, Houthi leadership circulated a plan to target undersea cables there. People dismissed it, then they cut them. Cable repair ships cannot enter active conflict zones. Regions went partially offline for weeks. Iran has been watching and taking notes
🧵So what does actual cable disruption look like in practice? It’s not a clean outage. It’s degradation.. slower speeds, rerouted traffic, cascading failures across interconnected systems. Financial markets freeze or slow, banking systems in exposed regions fail to clear transactions, supply chain software goes dark, and the most vulnerable countries aren’t the US or Europe. They’re Jordan, Lebanon, Bangladesh, Singapore, South Korea and India.
🧵Hundreds of millions of people with no backup infrastructure. Here’s the part that should make Washington pay attention. The US military’s own logistics and communications in the region run partially through commercial cable infrastructure. This isn’t just economic warfare. It’s a potential military blind spot sitting in plain sight on the ocean floor.
🧵Last night, Trump called Iran’s ceasefire counter-proposal “totally unacceptable.”
Iran’s proposal included recognition of Strait of Hormuz sovereignty. The cables sit in the Strait. Tehran isn’t just asking for a ceasefire, they’re asking for control of the world’s digital throat, and they already have their hand around it.
This is what modern warfare looks like.. not just missiles and tankers, but Infrastructure, leverage and chokepoints. Oil was the weapon of the 20th century. Data is the weapon of the 21st, and right now, Iran is sitting on top of both.
Stay locked in. This is developing, and we’re watching.
Without borders.
Even here.
Even now.
"Miller lançou Sin City há 35 anos e, a partir dali, sua carreira atingiu um novo auge. Depois de uma década premiada nos quadrinhos, a cidade do pecado ganhou vida nova no cinema e deu ao autor um prestígio que ele não esperava após relações de amor e ódio com Hollywood. E, aos leitores, deu um universo violento, noir, com arte exuberante.
Na retrospectiva abaixo, lembre do que faz Sin City ser Sin City e por que ela é um marco para os quadrinhos."

" Há dez anos, o Rio de Janeiro vivia um clima de euforia olímpica. Prestes a receber a maior competição esportiva do mundo, o estado, impulsionado pelos recursos dos royalties do petróleo, prometia desenvolver o “maior hub tecnológico da América Latina” e via seu símbolo mais conhecido – o Cristo Redentor – decolar como um foguete na capa da revista The Economist. Uma década depois, vive a ressaca das oportunidades desperdiçadas, com a economia em ruínas e grandes áreas do território sob controle do crime organizado."

Lips that are warm could be
Lips that speak too soon
Lips that tell a story
As sad and deep as you
Our time marks the beginning of a civilizational period that I refer to, inspired by the work of Arnold Toynbee, as petrification. It is a Western debate. Petrification is a period of prolonged decline in which a given civilization ceases to respond to challenges, loses creative and spiritual energy, and assumes rigid forms of hierarchy. Petrification can postpone the moment of disintegration and dissolution. Even admitting that, in the past, each civilization, following its path of birth, growth, maturity, disintegration, and dissolution, ended up being replaced by an external enemy that it designated as barbarism, I believe that what is called Western civilization is today in a state of petrification."
