Iran’s New Weapon Just Hits 1,650 Ships in the Persian Gulf

Описание: Iran’s New Weapon Just Hits 1,650 Ships in the Persian Gulf
A new form of electronic warfare is disrupting global shipping in the Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz. Reports indicate that more than 1,650 ships have experienced severe navigation problems due to GPS jamming and spoofing, a tactic that interferes with satellite navigation systems used by commercial vessels.

Instead of traditional weapons like missiles or drones, this conflict is increasingly being fought using electronic warfare technology that manipulates GPS signals. Ships affected by the interference have reported incorrect locations, sometimes appearing hundreds of kilometers away from their real position.

The disruption comes at a critical moment because the Strait of Hormuz is one of the most important shipping lanes in the world. Nearly 20% of global oil supply normally passes through this narrow waterway, making any disruption a major concern for global energy markets and international trade.

In this video, we break down:

How GPS spoofing and jamming work

Why thousands of ships are being affected

The strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz

How electronic warfare could reshape modern naval conflicts

This situation highlights how modern conflicts are increasingly fought not only with weapons, but also with signals, satellites, and digital systems that control global infrastructure.
