TL;DR: Iran is spoofing, from a site on the eastern edge of Teheran. Also, Israel started spoofing a week after the Hamas attack. The attacks are spoofing rather than just jamming; as a result, they're messing up the inertial navigation computers on airliners. It's worse than just "no GPS", because corrupted data is getting locked into the navigation computers, and over-riding where the airliner thought it was.
Israel makes some sense. They probably turned this on to mess up GPS-guided missiles and drones coming from Hamas and Hezbollah. I don't know what Iran's motivation is. Maybe they're expecting an attack coming from Israel, since they're Hamas's biggest backer? Or maybe they're just experimenting to see if they can do it?
