Iran Demands Payment From Google, Microsoft, and Meta for Strait of Hormuz Cables
Tehran has announced licensing fees on submarine fiber-optic cables crossing the Strait of Hormuz, targeting U.S. tech giants including Google, Microsoft, Meta, and Amazon.
The IRGC-linked framework runs in three stages: initial licensing charges, mandatory compliance with Iranian law, and EXCLUSIVE Iranian control over cable maintenance and repair.
There is one problem. U.S. sanctions law makes it ILLEGAL for American companies to send payments to Iranian entities, meaning compliance is not a legal option.
Iran knows this. The demand is leverage, not an invoice.
