Iran attacks navigation systems on Oman's Didamar island, sources say
Iran attacked ship navigation systems on the Omani island of Didamar in the Strait of Hormuz, three sources confirmed, demonstrating Tehran's ability to target infrastructure used for Gulf oil flows. The sources did not provide a damage assessment, and Reuters could not independently verify destruction. Iranian state media said the Revolutionary Guard Corps struck "enemy navigation systems" on the island, with satellite imagery showing thermal activity. Gulf exporters have increasingly used ship-to-ship transfers off Oman and the UAE to maintain oil flows, which recovered to over 80% of pre-war levels. The attacks likely have limited impact on commercial shipping due to alternative systems elsewhere.
