Iran threatens to attack undersea cables in the Strait of Hormuz, calls them 'legitimate new targets' in future conflict

Iran could attack seven undersea cables that run through the Strait of Hormuz, describing them as "legitimate new targets" in a potential "third phase" of further conflict with the United States.

What the coverage shows

Both outlets center on the Strait of Hormuz and Iran’s threat language, but they frame the topic differently. Tom’s Hardware focuses on undersea cables as “legitimate new targets” and says they could be hit in a potential “third phase” of conflict, while The Hill’s extract instead foregrounds a claim about seven oil tankers being hit and a possible impact on tensions and the energy crisis. The only cable detail appears in Tom’s Hardware’s extract.
