GPS glitches overwhelm phones in Tehran
2020-12-30
[Jpost] Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
confirmed that there have been GPS glitches recently in Tehran. Social media users have reported that the location displayed on their phone is significantly far from where they are actually located.
Somebody is having a little too much fun.

"Farrokh! You left for ciggy break an hour ago!"

"Boss, I'm trying to get back but there's some commotion in the street."

"Rubbish! You have defected to... Japan?! Alllah, la illah la rasulillah !"

"What?!"

"I can see your location, asshole. I'm reporting you."

#4  Sounds like fun, tie a GPS repeater to a helium mylar balloon, launch from the Iraqi border. West to East wind. Pakistan here we come, Iranian GPS.

#3  Could this have something to do with testing a (____) Defense shield that scrambles/misdirects GPS guided devices.

#2  Weren't the Mullahs bragging that they were working on their own GPS system sometime back?

Can't find the article.
