Fears of internet disruption are rising as the US-Iran conflict continues and risks to Red Sea cables increase. Experts say these undersea cables carry most global data, including services used in India. The Iran-backed Houthis have earlier warned of targeting such cables. A similar incident in September 2025 caused outages across parts of Asia. Officials say India could face slow speeds and network issues if cables are damaged. Much of India’s traffic passes through Mumbai and Chennai, making them key points. Any disruption could affect payments, cloud services, and communication systems across the country. (PC: X)
