Corroborated · Strait of Hormuz (approximate) ·
The IRGC claims two oil tankers exploded in the Strait of Hormuz, one a supertanker with a fire aboard. Telegram channels report a series of explosions in the strait, and Iran in Arabic says satellite images show a fire in the western strait, likely on a targeted tanker. No party names an attacker, and no neutral or official source has confirmed the incident.

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.
