MAJOR BREAKING: Iran is reportedly moving to tighten state control over undersea internet cables running through the Strait of Hormuz, a chokepoint not just for oil, but for global data, banking, cloud services, and communications.
This is disastrous for Trump because it exposes the core failure of his Iran strategy: he promised strength and stability, but Iran is now threatening both the world’s energy artery and its digital infrastructure.
Trump said he had Iran under control. Instead, Iran is turning the Strait of Hormuz into leverage over oil markets, internet traffic, financial systems, and Gulf allies, all while the White House looks like it’s reacting instead of leading.
