Submarine communications cables carry about 99 percent of intercontinental data and an estimated $10 trillion in financial transactions each day, and a meaningful share of that traffic passes through the Strait of Hormuz. Long understood as an energy chokepoint, the strait is now being reframed also as a digital one.
