#IranShipSeizure #StraitOfHormuz #IranInternetThreat #EconomyFail<br />On April 22, hours after Trump extended the ceasefire, Iran's Revolutionary Guards seized two cargo ships in the Strait of Hormuz — the MSC Francesca and the Epaminondas. A third vessel was fired upon. Brent crude crossed $100 a barrel. Then Iran-linked media published what analysts called a target list — seven undersea internet cables running through the strait that carry over 90% of internet, banking, and cloud services for the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia. Amazon and Microsoft data centers in the Gulf have already been hit. Cable repair ships can't enter the war zone. The UK is hosting 30 countries to plan reopening the strait. And the Pakistan talks remain stalled. In this video we break down what the ship seizures mean, what cutting those cables would actually do to the global digital economy, and why today may be the most dangerous escalation of this entire conflict.
