US Central Command spokesperson Tim Hawkins told Fox News that the vast majority of Iran's attempted attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz failed, and that about 97 percent of vessels crossing the strait were not struck. The New York Post reports that ship attacks in the strait have reached a record high since the Iran war began.

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.
