Single source · Strait of Hormuz (approximate) ·
The IRGC Navy says 11 oil tankers it describes as violating passage rules caught fire in the Strait of Hormuz between October 25 and November 2, and that some sank; the tanker count and sinkings come only from that statement. Tabz - Live News reports explosions in the Strait and attributes an IRGC Navy strike to the area, but no independent source confirms the tanker fires.

Verification
Single source: 1 independent source.
Verification describes the available evidence, not certainty that an event occurred.
One origin has reported this. That is not a sign it is wrong; nobody else has reported it yet.
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.
