What if Iran actually does cut internet cables as threatened

If Iran severs the internet cables in the deep water as they have threatened, what does that mean for companies in the US. Would India be cut off from US. I can't imagine the chaos that would create for companies. Most of our servers hosting GIT and other development applications are here in the US. That would pretty much cut them off, as well as others, from really being productive and who knows for how long that would last for. Is this our achilles heal. Are we foolishly offshoring work.

I would love it if we got cut off from India. They are by far the most difficult clients to work with. Almost all of them have no clue how to do their jobs and/or use impressive levels of weapinized incompetence to try to get me to do their jobs for them.

as Dell stock isn't really following logic with the coming q4 supply chain issues, it would likely go-to $800 with this and more layoffs.
joking aside,1% of global Internet traffic being suddenly disrupted is a major issue. impacts several things obviously some areas more then others but definitely a global ripple effect, your best bet is ask chat GPT to understand the full fallout.

This is a country that accidentally shoots down their own planes on a good day. They aren’t cutting any cables on the bottom of the ocean.
