Careful what you ask for. If cables in Irans exclusive economic zone perhaps some rational if standard assessment. IIRC 13 miles from shore common. However internet service providers can also charge Iran hefty connection fees so could bounce back and forth. If Iran does not reciprocate then get shut out. IRGC probably wants shakedown funds over high bandwidth. Getting to greedy this early before a peace deal might backfire with building support for countering.
