TEHRAN, (Sputnik) – All missiles built in Iran in the past 12 years do not use any international positioning systems, including the Global Positioning System (GPS), Iranian news agency Fars has reported, citing a source in the aerospace forces of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), who commented on reports of GPS jamming in Israel.
A source close to Israel’s security agencies confirmed to Sputnik last week that Israeli security services are massively jamming GPS signals in various parts of the country to, among other things, disorient potential enemy aerial targets such as missiles or drones. These measures come amid Tehran’s threats to respond to a recent Israeli airstrike on the consular annex of the Iranian Embassy in Damascus.
«Iran has premeditated a solution to this issue, and all missiles built in the past 12 years do not use GPS or any other international positioning system,» the report quoted the source as saying on Wednesday.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry said it «reserves the right» to respond to the Israeli attack and «punish the aggressor.» Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi also vowed that Israel would pay a «heavy price» for the strike.
