Hmmm. Four lines out of commission. Two in the Mediterranean, two in the Persian Gulf. So I Googled "Iran submarine" and turns out they have three surplus Russian Kilo-class boats and a line of mini-subs based on North Korean technology. Qatar and UAE are relatively friendly to the West, both of them allowing the U.S. to operate air bases for operations over Iraq, the Gulf, and potentially against Iran if things heat up there.
Mini-sub cuts cable in Med, passes through Suez shadowing a surface ship, cuts cable in Gulf. As I said, hmmmm...
That is the most likly scenario.
