Why The US Navy Used "Ghost Nets" To Track Iranian Submarines in the Persian Gulf

Описание: February 2026. An Iranian Ghadir-class submarine creeps along the Persian Gulf seabed at 4 knots, running silent. The captain believes he's undetectable—the shallow, warm, noisy waters have protected Iranian subs for 30 years. But 300 kilometers away, a US Navy sonar technician watches a crystal-clear track showing the sub's exact depth, speed, heading, and even its battery cooling system signature. The Iranians think these waters are safe. The US Navy calls them "The Ghost Net"—a revolutionary distributed acoustic sensing system that has turned the Persian Gulf from Iran's submarine sanctuary into an execution zone.
