It would sound plausible if there was anything to gain from it.
Disrupting communications in Iran might make sense as an immediate prelude to an attack, while wiretapping on internet cables could be done differently, I suppose.
On the other hand, these cables are for most of the middle east, so a lot of useful information must flow through there..
Maybe they did want to install a wire tap and something went wrong??

But that would mean the US intel community makes mistakes, something as unthinkable as them doing something criminal, isnt it???
After the history of the US wiretapping program's successes, I doubt that the 3 seperate cable cuts were performed by the US Intelligence Community...please note my post above about the probability of the Carter transiting the Suez Canal unseen.
