Verification
Disputed: 1 independent source.
Verification describes the available evidence, not certainty that an event occurred.
Sources contradict each other about whether it happened, where, or what it was. That does not make it false, and it does not mean either side is right.
Sources disagree on:
- The IRGC Navy statement relayed by @tabzlive attributes the fire to naval mine strikes, while Iran in Arabic says the IRGC attacked the tanker, which then sank.
