Area covered

This page covers 12°N to 40°N and 34°E to 63°E, which takes in Iraq, Iran, the Arabian Peninsula, the Persian Gulf, the Strait of Hormuz and the Gulf of Oman. A hexagon is included when its centre falls inside that area.

Background

Aviation authorities list Iraq and Iran among the high-risk areas for interference (AeroTime, April 2026), and reporting describes interference rising across the region, including around the Strait of Hormuz (Foreign Policy, June 2026).

About these figures. They count aircraft that reported low GPS accuracy (ADS-B NACp of 7 or lower), which is a strong sign of jamming or spoofing but not proof of it. The map cannot locate a transmitter or say who is responsible. How the map is made.
