Who the HELL is cutting Undersea Cables in the Middle East?

Take a look if you will at the picture below:

FIVE Undersea Cables have been cut. Apparently, Ships Can Drag Anchors from Egypt to Malaysia!?

These are SeaMeWe-4 (South East Asia-Middle East-Western Europe-4) near Penang, Malaysia, the FLAG Europe-Asia near Alexandria, FLAG near the Dubai coast, FALCON near Bandar Abbas in Iran and SeaMeWe-4, also near Alexandria.

The first cut in the undersea Internet cable occurred on January 23, in the Flag Telcoms FALCON submarine cable which was not reported. This has not been repaired yet and the cause remains unknown, A major cut affecting the UAE occurred on January 30 in the SeaMeWe-4 (South East Asia-Middle East-Western Europe-4). This was followed by another cut on February 1 which was on the same cable (FALCON). This affected the du network majorly as connections from the Gulf were severed while there was limited connectivity within the region.

The experts say that “About 60-80 per cent of damages to undersea cable are due to external factors and only 10 per cent on an average can be classified as component failure.” So, What The F*** is Going on here? :???:

    That’s the Million dollar question, Surely it is not a coincidence. some kind of conspiracy? who knows. but indeed, who is to benefit from this?

    So strange, but I started to think it has something to do with earth, I mean maybe some internal magnetic waves coming from the center of the earth, or maybe deep ocean waves, some scientific rational explanation.

    Thinking of conspiracy is so scary, cause as we all are asking, who is benefiting? and where this is going to reach?
