the middle east region and now iran is off the
grid.

Looks like an undersea monster is very
hungry and has found a sudden appetite for
fibre optic cables

OTOH why do i get a funny feeling that this
is the orchestrated first step in the "fire sale"
attack by the world's policeman on one of
the so called "rogue states"
