Here’s a question for you all. What if your phone suddenly stopped knowing where exactly you are? What if Google Maps got confused and started leading you in a wrong direction? Well, that’s exactly what’s happening in Iran. And let me tell you, it’s not a technical glitch. It is something far bigger than that. As tensions rise between Iran and Israel, Iran has taken a drastic step that’s now missing with every single day life. They are jamming GPS signals. Yes, the same GPS that helps people find their way on roads, track packages, book taxis, or even locate their lost folds. Iran has reportedly started disrupting these satellite signals as part of a defense strategy during its ongoing confrontation with Israel. Why? Because GPS isn’t just about maps. It is about missiles, drones, and precision weapons. Most modern weapon system use GPS to navigate and strike with accuracy. By jamming GPS, Iran is just trying to protect itself from foreign attacks, specifically Israeli or Western missiles and their drones. But here’s the problem. When you block GPS for defense, you’re also blocking it for the civilians. And that’s exactly what’s happening right now. According to Iran International, people across Iran are now struggling with basic tasks. Navigation apps like Google Maps, Ways, and other location-based services are not working properly. Delivery drivers cannot find addresses. They can’t ride sharing apps which are completely lost now. And citizens are getting turned around on roads they used to know by heart. Can you imagine that? Think about this. What happens if ambulances can’t find the right location during an emergency? What if planes or ships nearby lose their GPS guidance? This isn’t just inconvenient, it can be extremely dangerous. This kind of disruption is not new in global politics, though. Countries like Russia has also used GPS jamming during military operations in Ukraine. It’s a modern warfare tactic. Mess with the tech, mess with the enemy. But unlike traditional warfare, the damage spill over into the daily life, affecting regular people just trying to get to work or pick up their kids. So the question is, what’s the bigger picture? Well, Iran is making a bold move, choosing to sacrifice some domestic comforts for what it sees as national security. But it also raises a major question that how far will governments go in using electronic warfare tactics even if it means turning their own cities into digital blind spots. The world is watching right now and that too very closely because in today’s age wars aren’t fought with bullets. They are fought with satellites, signals and software. And in this new battlefield even your smartphones aren’t safe.
