Threat to Red Sea Undersea Cables

 The Hudson Institute published on 28 October 2026 an analysis titled "Iran's Maritime Threat and the Conflict in the Red Sea" by Can Kasapoglu.

Working with its Houthi allies in Yemen, Iran may be able to damage undersea cables that pass through the Red Sea, which carry about 90 percent of the Europe-Asia capacity.  Multiple cuts in the cables could disrupt internet services, E-commerce, finance, and cloud computing across the globe.
