This asks whether Iran will damage or sabotage undersea internet cables before the Dec. 31 resolution date. The newest dated development I found was Oct. 11, when AP reported that Mohsen Rezaei, a senior Iranian figure and former Revolutionary Guard commander, said Tehran viewed the latest U.S. response as “insufficient” and warned of attacks on regional data centers and cables if fighting intensifies again; the remarks were carried by IRNA. That is a threat, not a verified cable strike. [1] For context, AP’s security tracker says undersea cable cuts in the Red Sea have already disrupted internet in Asia and the Middle East, showing how disruptive any actual damage can be. But the reporting I found does not identify a confirmed Iran-directed cable attack on the question’s terms; the live issue is whether a verified incident happens before Dec. 31, not whether rhetoric about cables continues.

Where this question trades

Comparable, not identical. Each venue words the question and its resolution rules its own way: settlement date, source of truth, and edge cases can all differ. Read each venue's rules before treating two prices as the same thing.
