Digital transformation expert Abdelwahab Ghoneim said that targeting undersea telecommunications cables in the Gulf could slow and disrupt services, but would not isolate countries in the region, as networks can reroute data through backup cables, terrestrial routes or satellites. Around 95% of communications and internet traffic travels through undersea cables. The impact is expected to be greater on Iraq, Kuwait, Bahrain and Qatar, while Egypt lies outside the direct impact zone because it relies on routes through the Red Sea, the Mediterranean and the Suez Canal. Five active subsea cable systems cross the Strait of Hormuz, but the international data passing through it accounts for less than 1% of global bandwidth. Backup routes may not be sufficient to handle traffic if several cables are cut at the same time.
