Iran Attacks Navigation Systems on Oman's Didamar Island, Sources Say

Iran attacked ship navigation systems on Oman's Didamar island in the Strait of Hormuz, three sources said, demonstrating Tehran's ability to target infrastructure used to restore Gulf oil flows. No damage assessment was provided. The attacks, claimed by Iran on Tuesday, come as Gulf exporters use workarounds like ship-to-ship transfers off Oman and the UAE to boost oil flows. The US military has aided commercial vessels since the US-Israeli war on Iran began in late February. Iranian state media said the Revolutionary Guard destroyed "enemy navigation systems" on the island, with video confirming smoke and satellite thermal activity. Gulf oil exports recovered to over 80% of pre-war levels in September and October, though sources said the attacks would likely have limited impact on shipping.
