So the outages are real but they didn't occur simultaneously, for example
EIG has been down for a few weeks. Also note SEACOM and TGN are double
counted as they're the same physical cable at that segment. The Red Sea is
busy and shallow, faults are commonplace.
No major news outlets report the terrorism version, possibly because the
origin of this seems to be Israel and Iran based stories aimed at each
other and don't appear to cite any sources outside social media.
I'm also unclear about the claim that the cables can't be fixed because
they'd require Yemeni approval to enter their waters. Cables don't usually
hug the beach and ought to be in international waters, and preferably a
deep area to avoid anchors.
We're on these cables and nothing I'm aware of from our vendors suggesting
it's not business as usual, repairs slow as usual and lots of other cables
unaffected.
