BREAKING: IRAN HITS SHIPS, YEMEN ATTACKS SAUDI, U.S. CONSULATE IN UAE SHUT - w/ Malcolm Nance
What was said
"Today, in order to blind the Americans, the Iranians attacked the Omani surface radar station of the Omani Coast Guard at Musandam, on the Musandam Peninsula. This now blinds Oman to the tanker traffic and surface ships."
Iran struck Omani Coast Guard radar facilities at Musandam Peninsula and other locations, eliminating surveillance coverage of ship traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. The attacks came days after the US bombed Iranian facilities at Duqm, Oman while conducting negotiations with Oman about traffic-sharing arrangements. Iran apparently suspected Oman was providing real-time radar intelligence to US forces and conducted the strikes to eliminate American situational awareness in the strait.
