Single source · Strait of Hormuz (approximate) ·
The X account @MenchOsint says the UAE-owned tanker DRAGON FORTUNE likely entered the Strait of Hormuz around 01:34 UTC on 12 October and switched off its AIS about 10 hours before its post. Separately, the Telegram channel Middle East Spectator reports, with a delay, that Iran hit a tanker in the Strait, the third such incident in 24 hours; it does not name the vessel or give a time.

Single source: 1 independent source.
Sources disagree on:
- MenchOsint describes a vessel transiting with AIS switched off and reports no attack, while Middle East Spectator reports an Iranian strike on an unnamed tanker; neither source ties its account to the other's vessel or time, so this is unresolved rather than a direct contradiction.
- Middle East Spectator's report is delayed and gives no occurrence time, so it cannot be matched to the 01:34 UTC window in the MenchOsint claim.
