Confirmed · Oman, Oman (approximate: Gulf of Oman) ·
UKMTO says a tanker was struck by an unknown projectile off Oman, in the Gulf of Oman. Middle East Spectator, an OSINT Telegram channel, reports that Iran struck an oil tanker off the Oman coast; UKMTO does not attribute the strike, and the Iranian attribution rests on that single OSINT account.

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.
