The whole world? I see several lines, but it does not appear anyone beside the gulf states would be severely affected.

What I meant by that is the ability to access the entire world interconnectivity - obviously cutting those cables would not affect domestic internet access but people who live elsewhere would not be able to access content hosted overseas in gulf states.
