Disputed · Strait of Hormuz (approximate) ·
UKMTO reports, relayed by several channels, that vessels were struck in the Strait of Hormuz in the past 24 hours and attributes the attacks to Iran. One UKMTO-attributed post gives four vessels and a reposted post gives three. Iran's Revolutionary Guards say they struck a vessel in the Strait of Hormuz, as relayed by Arab News. A separate X map of UKMTO reports over 14 days attributes 19 vessel hits to the IRGC and one to the U.S.

Verification
Disputed: 2 independent sources.
Sources disagree on:
- Vessel count within the same 24-hour window differs: the rnintel Telegram post relaying UKMTO gives four vessels, while the bonzerbarry X repost attributed to UKMTO gives three more attacks.
- The IRGC says it struck one vessel, while the UKMTO-attributed reports cite four (or three) vessels in the same strait over 24 hours.
- The MenchOsint map attributes one vessel hit to the U.S. over 14 days, a claim no other source makes, and its 19 IRGC hits over 14 days cannot be reconciled with the 24-hour counts.
- Timing is inconsistent: the event's occurrence time equals the UKMTO report time (19:27:03Z), which looks like a placeholder, and the IRGC statement is reported about 50 minutes later (20:19Z).
Details by origin
Each detail, with the independent origins that reported it. An origin is the outlet or channel where a claim first appeared; reposts count once. A row counts no more independent origins than the event does above; where it lists more, it says so. This counts reports: it is not a measure of accuracy, and it does not change the event's status. "Reports differ" means two origins gave values that cannot both be true; it is about that detail, not about whether the incident happened.

This table may include reports the automated review judged to be about another incident.
No detail reads as corroborated while the event itself does not.
The disagreements listed under Verification are written by the automated review; this table is computed by rules, so the two lists can differ.
