Corroborated · Strait of Hormuz (approximate) ·
ME Observer reports that an oil tanker sank in the Strait of Hormuz after an attack by Iranian naval forces, which it says took place in the past few days. WarFront Witness separately reports, without confirmation, that a vessel in the Strait issued a distress call; it does not mention a sinking or an attack.

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.
