- Vessel: UKMTO refers to an unnamed vessel, while the IRGC describes a supertanker carrying crude oil.
- Damage: UKMTO reports damage with all crew safe; the IRGC reports an explosion and engine-room fire and says nothing about crew.
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.

This table may include reports the automated review judged to be about another incident.
No detail reads as corroborated while the event itself does not.
The disagreements listed under Verification are written by the automated review; this table is computed by rules, so the two lists can differ.
