Iran Strikes Navigation Infrastructure on Oman's Didamar Island in Strait of Hormuz

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps struck maritime navigation systems, radar, and communications infrastructure on Oman's Didamar Island in the Strait of Hormuz. Satellite imagery from the EU's Copernicus program verified thermal activity and smoke following the attack. Didamar Island sits roughly 10 nautical miles north of the Musandam Peninsula, housing equipment used to coordinate commercial tanker traffic. Although maritime analysts expect limited disruption due to navigation redundancies, the escalation raises risk premiums as regional oil exports had recently rebounded to over 80% of prewar levels across September and October.
