Iran Targets Navigation Systems on Oman's Didamar Island in Strait of Hormuz
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps reportedly attacked navigation systems on Oman's Didamar island in the Strait of Hormuz, according to Iranian state media and multiple sources. Video and satellite images showed smoke and thermal activity, but the extent of damage remains unclear. Gulf exporters have used alternative methods like ship-to-ship transfers to maintain oil flows, aided by US military support. Experts suggest the attacks may have limited impact due to redundant systems. Official responses from US and Omani authorities were not immediately available.
