Attacks on shipping in Strait of Hormuz: UN says IMO recorded 134 confirmed incidents

Confirmed · Strait of Hormuz, Iran (approximate) ·

UKMTO, as relayed by Middle East Eye, says at least seven tankers were attacked in and around the Strait of Hormuz in the week to 11 November, with one strike injuring multiple crew in the Arabian Gulf. UN assistant secretary-general Khaled Khiari told the Security Council that the IMO has recorded 134 confirmed incidents against shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and wider Middle East maritime area as of 11 November, and that, according to Khiari, 25 seafarers have been killed. A single Telegram channel reports anti-ship cruise missiles and drones launched from Hormozgan with explosions in the strait; no other source confirms that specific launch.

Verification

Confirmed: 2 independent sources.

Verification describes the available evidence, not certainty that an event occurred.

Independent origins agree and an official record, a neutral body or an admission against interest backs it. That is strong evidence, not certainty; it can still change.

What we know and what remains unclear

Each detail the reports give, by how many independent origins reported it. An origin is the outlet or channel where a claim first appeared; reposts count once. Confidence in the event is not confidence in each detail. 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.
