> Using this technique, Iran was reportedly able to locate U.S. military forces stationed in military bases as well as hotels in Iraq, Bahrain, and other countries in the Middle East, which allowed the regime to strike them.

While I'm sure they've invested in finding ways to track people, it's not exactly difficult to locate a military base, or hotels used by military personnel.

Possibly what we saw in the Russia Ukraine war with AP locations reported by Apple?
