Iran Is About To Cut The Worlds Internet And The U.S. Military RESPONDED

About this video

Max analyzes Iran’s emerging threat to undersea fiber optic cables in the Strait of Hormuz, which he describes as a potential leverage point carrying over $10 trillion in daily financial transactions. He outlines Iran’s Ghadir-class mini-submarines as the likely tool for this threat and details the U.S. military’s multi-layered defensive response, including P-8 Poseidon aircraft, MH-60R helicopters, and advanced unmanned underwater vehicles like Lockheed Martin’s Lamprey and DARPA’s Manta Ray.

Key takeaways

• Max reports that Iranian state media has threatened to impose fees on undersea internet cables or cause ‘direct or indirect damage’ to them, positioning this as a new form of economic leverage alongside their existing shipping blockade tactics
• Max describes Iran’s Ghadir-class submarines—small diesel-electric vessels based on North Korean designs—as the likely platform for cable-cutting operations, noting the U.S. may have eliminated about a dozen of them while roughly ten may remain operational
• Max outlines a multi-layered U.S. defense strategy he believes would counter the submarine threat, including P-8 Poseidon surveillance aircraft, MH-60R helicopters with dipping sonar, and newly unveiled autonomous underwater vehicles like the Lamprey that can attach to enemy submarines and track them back to hidden bases
