Single source · Strait of Hormuz (approximate) ·
UKMTO says IRGC attacks, attempted attacks and harassment of merchant shipping, including UAV overflights, targeted surveillance and VHF hailing, persisted in the Strait of Hormuz, and describes the threat as severe with further attacks highly likely. Fox Business reports that Iran has increased attacks on shipping in the strait, but its item gives no separate evidence for that claim.

Sources disagree on:
- Fox Business says Iran has increased attacks on shipping, while the UKMTO statement describes persistent activity (attacks, attempted attacks and harassment) without stating that it has risen; the two are not directly contradictory but the scale of change is unverified.
- Fox Business attributes the attacks to Iran in general, while UKMTO attributes them specifically to the IRGC.
