Here's what I don't understand, why doesn't the US simply cut their connections to the world. It's quite easy to find fiber optic locations...cut them.
Instead of flinging bombs and missiles, take out their knees with some cable cutters.

Iran cut it itself. Its running its own domestic internet where everything domestic works. All domestic banks, apps.
Literal arrogance to think that the US owns the world.
Cutting communications hinders iran less then outsiders trying to spark a revolution. I think thats also a reason why russia and other autocratic nations have internet kill switches too.
> litteral arrogance
True.
They have that for the same reason they always have a military, even if it's 100 years behind anyone else's - to keep the populace in check. A T-55 might be completely obsolete against a cheap FPV drone, but it's still a formidable weapon against a crowd of unarmed people.
Are the Iranian hackers not within Iran?
The US isolating itself from the rest of the world isn't financially feasible.
