Here's what I don't understand, why doesn't the US simply cut their connections to the world. It's quite easy to find fiber optic locations...cut them. Instead of flinging bombs and missiles, take out their knees with some cable cutters.

Because they have already done that themselves.

Iran cut it itself. Its running its own domestic internet where everything domestic works. All domestic banks, apps.

Literal arrogance to think that the US owns the world.

There is a possibility the IRGC are trolling, given it's April's Fool today.
