Iran överväger avgifter för internetkablar under havsytan i Hormuzsundet

Iran överväger ett förslag om att ta ut avgifter för internationella internetkablar som passerar genom Hormuzsundet. Planen skulle även kunna innebära att kabelreparationer endast får utföras av iranska företag.

Åtgärden riktar sig mot vitala länkar som hanterar global datatrafik, inklusive tjänster som WhatsApp-chattar, Instagram-reels, Amazon-leveranser och Netflix-strömmar. Tjänstemän diskuterar avgifterna mitt under pågående spänningar med USA och Israel, där ett bräckligt eldupphör för närvarande råder.
