Government officials said that the Iranian armed forces actively used GPS jammers and pretended to be US or Allied warships, causing merchant ships to sail through Iranian waters and then confiscated them. The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Maritime Administration issued a warning on Wednesday that Iran is using “GPS interference, bridge-to-bridge communication spoofing, and/or other communication interruptions with little or no warning.”
Rouhani warned: “The war with Iran is the mother of all wars,” the statement said: “In at least two incidents, ships reported gps jammer.” “Ships also reported false bridge-to-bridge communications from unknown entities, these entities Falsely claimed to be an American or a joint warship.”
Officials suggested that vessels flying the American flag should refuse permission from the Iranian forces attempting to board the ship and immediately notify the “Bahrain Fifth Fleet Combat Observation Team”. The statement was made after the Iranian armed forces detained a series of ships since May. The British government recently confiscated the ship’s vessels and announced this week that it will form a maritime alliance with the United States to protect commercial shipping on the Persian Gulf, the Strait of Hormuz and the Gulf of Oman.
Bradley Blakeman: Iran knows to deliver ships near Hormuz-now it’s time to adopt this solution. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s press conference in Washington, DC, on Wednesday At the meeting, standing with British counterpart Dominic Raab (Dominic Raab), praised Britain’s maritime expertise for hundreds of years.
The tension between the United States and Iran put countries on the brink of war, especially after Iran shot down an unmanned U.S. drone and led President Trump to first order a military strike on the regime, although the attack occurred in Iran in the middle. The crisis has eliminated fear of high victims in Iran. The United States accused the Iranian regime of being responsible for six attacks on commercial tankers that used mines to punch holes in the fuselage.
Iran denied the attack on the tanker and insisted that the crashed US drone flew into Iranian airspace. The regime also stated that after the Royal Marines detained an Iranian tanker near the waters of Gibraltar, it detained a British tanker that was allegedly violating EU sanctions to deliver oil to Syria.
