Four underwater communications cables between Saudi Arabia and Djibouti have been struck out of commission in recent months, presumably as a result of attacks by Yemen’s Iranian-backed Houthi rebels, according to an exclusive report in the Israeli news site Globes.
The successful targeting of the four cables, which are believed to belong to the AAE-1, Seacom, EIG, and TGN systems, marks a serious disruption of communications between Europe and Asia.
Most of the immediate harm will be absorbed by the Gulf states and India, Globes said.
The AAE-1 cable connects East Asia to Europe via Egypt, connecting China to the West through countries such as Pakistan and Qatar.
The Europe India Gateway (EIG) cable system connects southern Europe to Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Djibouti, the UAE, and India.
The Seacom cable connects Europe, Africa, and India, and is connected to South Africa.
The United States, United Kingdom, and allies have begun in recent months to take offensive actions against the Houthis in response to attacks, but the missile, helicopter, and underwater drone assaults on merchant ships have continued.
(The Hooties are always two steps ahead of their powerful rivals.)
It’s not just the Hooties! It’s the Blowfish as well. Hootie and the Blowfish are one hell of a team.
I’d lean that direction, but Iran may be in the mix more
than we think. I’d also say Russia or China could be
giving Iran things to use also.
I didn’t know Hoooothese could swim ,not much water over there you know.
In the meantime, we have some time to prepare, which I would do anyways because of how desperate the political situation is becoming in this country. Between illegal immigration and the next planned mail in vote fraud crisis, we're going to need to be as ready as possible..
Whether your scenario plays out, time will tell. However, I certainly am NOT optimistic about the future of this country without a massive move of God.
And all the military equipment Biden left them?
I think you’re being a bit pessimistic. The average voter is a moron though.
Phew!
“Nuke the Hooties!”
Thank goodness I re-read that.
For a second there I read that as,
“Nuke the Hooters!”
I was in a panic.
Of course, that’s where Iran gets all it’s hi tech stuff and training from.
And I have no doubt that Russia gave the green light for the hamas / Iran Oct 7 attack, when hamas and Iran were hosted in Moscow last spring.
Could be.
Yes, the last cleaning rid FR of hoootooos and I’m not kidding but they are hacking pestilence so they will try to post. LOL
All cables surface at either end to connect to the rest of the infrastructure. There’s a secure landing zone and it was probably overrun and destroyed. I’d like to know the details too though.
Dragging a weighted anchor from the back of a ship could snag and sever the cable. It’s been done like that before.
These same propagandists would blame Houthis for blowing up a gas pipeline between Russia and Germany if they thought they could get suckers to believe it.
Biden will continue insignificant tactical strikes against the Houthis, but nothing that strikes at their strategic core. Its all about grabbing headlines in an election year.
I like your optimism. 😊👍 You may take some incoming, but I wouldn’t put anything past these assclowns in their quest to stop PDJT.
The only way to solve this problem is boots on the ground. The only question is who’s troops.
one could just drag a piece of conctete at the end of a cable across the sea floor with a tug boat and get the job done.
better yet, drag an anchor.
thx for the ping
things keep escalating exponentially, I wish more were prepping.
