Disputed · Strait of Hormuz (approximate) ·
US Central Command says all internationally recognized primary transit routes through the Strait of Hormuz have been cleared of sea mines and remain clear, and it calls Iranian media claims that commercial vessels hit mines there false. Tasnim News reports that CENTCOM also advised vessels with no need to transit the Strait of Hormuz and Gulf of Oman to avoid the area.

- Iranian media claims, as relayed by Middle East Eye and an ME Observer Telegram post, say commercial vessels hit or collided with sea mines in the Strait of Hormuz, while US Central Command says those claims are false.
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.
