Is This The Reason Iran's Internet Has Been Severed?

Iran Oil Bourse To Deal Blow To USD
"The long-awaited Iranian Oil Bourse, a place for trading oil, petrochemicals and gas in various non-dollar currencies, will soon open. Iran's Finance Minister Davoud Danesh-Jafari told reporters the bourse will be inaugurated during the anniversary of the Islamic Revolution (February 1-11) at the latest.
"All preparations have been made to launch the bourse; it will open during the Ten-Day Dawn (the ceremonies marking the victory of the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran)," he said. The Minister had earlier stated that the Oil Bourse is located on the Persian Gulf island of Kish.
Some expert opinions hold inauguration of the bourse cold significantly devalue the greenback."

Middle East Internet Blackouts Spur Suspicions
"Unprecedented mass Internet outages throughout the Middle East and Asia after no less than four undersea Internet cables were cut without explanation are spurring suspicions that a major event of geopolitical proportions may be just around the corner.
Internet blackouts are impacting large tracts of Asia, the Middle East and North Africa after four undersea cable connections were severed. Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Bahrain, Pakistan and India, are all experiencing severe problems.
According to
InternetTraffic.com, Iran has been completely cut off from the Internet, though Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s blog can still be accessed.
Most notably, Israel and Iraq are unaffected by the outage.

(...)
Is this a pre-cursor to throw a veil over an imminent staged event in the Middle East?"

And of course, we should keep these tidbits in mind:

Pentagon: The internet needs to be dealt with as if it were an enemy "weapons system".

How many huge Navy ships does the US have there now?

I mean, how can anybody get by conducting special ops on the sea floor without their sonar detecting it?

If somebody can cut a cable down there, why can't they put a huge hole in some of those Navy ships?

Come now, all substantial evidence points to the US Navy and we know it.

Look at Risk/Reward to US admin:

Loss of comms to India (60%) has seriously impacted US (and other) businesses. US domestic opposition to war is high. If the US govmt is shown to be responsible - they are in a lot of (domestic & international) trouble.

Cables will all be repaired in 2 weeks. So Reward: Iranian oil market opens 2 weeks late.

If it was war - the bullets would be flying by now.

Conclusion: US plot doesn't make sense.
