The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) attacked radar and communications facilities on Didmar Island in Oman, located in the Strait of Hormuz.
A spokesman for the Revolutionary Guards said that the destroyed systems were used to ensure the passage of ships through the strait.
After the attack, no ships were able to navigate the southern shipping lane overnight. In video footage from the scene, we can clearly see a large plume of smoke rising from the site of the damaged radar.
Iran is actively destroying the infrastructure that ships use to navigate the US-backed alternative corridor. By destroying radar and communication facilities on Didmar Island, Iran is "blinding" the southern route, proving that it controls the physical passage.
