Fifth Undersea Cable Cut
Underwater bogeyman continues secret mission...
Just as ships started to arrive to repair a rash of cut fiber lines in the Mediterranean and Persian gulf, a fifth cut line is being reported by the Khaleej Times. There's plenty of conspiracy theories bouncing around out there, including claims that this is a covert effort to derail the launch of Iran's planned Petroleum Exchange. However, while the cut cables are impacting many users, claims that Iran is offline entirely are being exaggerated.
