        "summary": "Iran is reportedly conducting electromagnetic warfare in the Strait of Hormuz, disrupting GPS and satellite navigation systems that could endanger maritime safety and shipping. The jamming of Automatic Identification Systems (AIS) poses significant collision risks for vessels transiting the vital waterway, with military analysts suggesting Iran is responsible for the attacks following tensions with Israel.",
        "content": "<p>Warfare in the Strait of Hormuz extends beyond conventional weapons.\nHidden electromagnetic waves are being used to conduct \u201cinvisible\nattacks\u201d within the Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n<p>These electromagnetic waves carry significant consequences. For\ninstance, GPS disruptions can cause communication interference and\npotentially fatal accidents.<\/p>\n<p>The disruptions affect ships within and around Hormuz, impacting\nvessel Automatic Identification Systems (AIS).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe cannot underestimate the grave danger posed to maritime\nnavigation and safety,\u201d explained Michelle Wiese Bockmann, senior\nmaritime intelligence analyst at maritime AI company Windward, according\nto BBC reporting on Friday, 13 March 2025.<\/p>\n<p>AIS enables ships to avoid one another, including preventing\ncollisions. Collision risks escalate during night-time or in poor\nvisibility conditions.<\/p>\n<p>This is particularly critical given that 300-metre tankers require\nextensive time to turn and stop, sometimes needing several kilometres to\nadjust their course.<\/p>\n<p>The source of the electromagnetic disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz\nremains unclear. However, several military analysts suggest Iran is\nbehind the interference.<\/p>\n<p>Iran has previously threatened to attack any vessels attempting to\ntransit the Strait of Hormuz. This statement came following recent\nmilitary exchanges between Iran and Israel.<\/p>\n<p>The GPS signal jamming or Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)\ndisruption equipment used by Iran likely originates domestically.\nAlternatively, it may have been obtained from Russia or China, according\nto Thomas Withington, research fellow at the Royal United Services\nInstitute.<\/p>",
