Iran succeeded in cutting vital underwater data communications cables serving the Middle East, Africa, and India.

(A news report from a few days ago.)

These cut/damaged cables include not just financial data but also encripted US military communications both to/from the Middle East and Washington DC.

On land Artificial Information data centers by Amazon, Google, and others have been bombed by Iran.
