call me a skeptic but the entire article from CNN is rather dubious. There are several man-made explanations that can account for aberrant behavior in GPS including lack of maintenance and unintended spurious emissions from regional RF towers.
>A US defense official told CNN that Iran has placed GPS jammers on Iran-controlled Abu Musa Island, which lies in the Persian Gulf close to the entrance of the Strait of Hormuz.
Cool. So who was she? When was this reported? did Congress receive this information? The US defense department has every incentive to overstate threats from Iran.
>The official said the Iranian jammers have no effect on US military warships and aircraft.
So, the jammers are magic jammers.
