L'Iran envisage des taxes sur les câbles internet sous-marins dans le détroit d'Ormuz

L'Iran étudie une proposition visant à facturer des droits de passage pour les câbles internet sous-marins transitant par le détroit d'Ormuz. Le projet pourrait également limiter les réparations des câbles aux seules entreprises iraniennes.

Cette mesure cible des liaisons vitales qui acheminent le trafic mondial de données, notamment des services tels que les discussions WhatsApp, les Reels Instagram, les livraisons Amazon et les flux Netflix. Les autorités discutent de ces taxes dans un contexte de tensions persistantes avec les États-Unis et Israël, où un fragile cessez-le-feu est actuellement en vigueur.
