Summary

On November 11, 2026, Iran's Revolutionary Guard claimed to have used mines to strike navigation equipment on Oman's Didamar Island in the Strait of Hormuz. While Iranian state media asserted the attack targeted infrastructure used by oil tankers, the incident remains disputed. A senior Omani official denied the claims, and reports indicate uncertainty regarding the extent of any damage. Video footage published by Reuters and shared on social media showed smoke rising near the rocky outcrop, though it remains unclear if the smoke originated from the island itself. Satellite imagery has shown conflicting results, with some sources noting apparent scorch marks while others reported no obvious damage.
