Iran has significantly increased GPS spoofing and jamming operations across the Middle East, targeting critical maritime corridors like the Strait of Hormuz. This systematic interference is creating severe navigational hazards for commercial vessels and civil aviation, marking a new phase in regional electronic warfare.
The confirmation of Iranian security chief Larijani's death in an Israeli strike marks a critical escalation in the widening U.S.-Israeli war with Iran. The conflict has led to a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, triggering global energy shocks and heightening the risk of state-sponsored cyber retaliation against critical infrastructure.
