3rd Undersea Cable Cut, Hampering Internet, Damaged Lines Spark Communication Outages In Middle East, Asia - CBS News
AP reports: "An undersea cable has been cut in the Persian Gulf, the third such communications link damaged in the past week, resulting in severe phone line disruptions and compounding an already existing Internet outage across large parts of the Middle East and Asia."

Ok guys, what is going on here, is this damage deliberate? Three disruptions to internet traffic (and commerce) in one week is a bit more than random chance would allow.
