Iran's GPS Disruption Creates Chaos on Tehran's Streets

Iran's GPS Disruption Creates Chaos on Tehran's Streets

Imagine your phone's map suddenly got really confused, showing you in the wrong place.

That's what's happening in Tehran, Iran.

Since the end of the recent war with Israel, the government has been messing with GPS signals for security reasons.

This makes it hard for ride-sharing apps and maps to work, confusing drivers and hurting businesses.

People are worried about the economy, already struggling under sanctions.

The government might switch to a different navigation system from China, but it's a complicated and expensive change.
