Iranian defense forces attacked radar and radio communication systems on the island of Didamar to prevent vessels from using a shipping lane in the southern Strait of Hormuz. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said the strike neutralized key navigational aids used by ships to bypass Iranian maritime authority, and that no vessels entered the restricted passage last night.
The IRGC stated the targeted installations had been used by ships under US naval escort to evade Iranian control. Oil prices dropped 4% following reports of the operation.
