“Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz again Wednesday in response to Israeli attacks against the Hezbollah militant group in Lebanon”
DISPUTED
The Wikipedia evidence confirms Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz in response to U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran (2026 Iran war), not Israeli attacks on Hezbollah in Lebanon. The claim incorrectly attributes the closure to Hezbollah-related events, which are not mentioned in the evidence.

“At least 112 people were killed and hundreds were wounded in one of the deadliest days in the latest Israel-Hezbollah war”
DISPUTED
The Wikipedia evidence mentions over 100 civilian casualties in Iran (2026 Iran war), not in Lebanon or related to Israel-Hezbollah conflict. The 1983 Beirut bombings are unrelated to the 2026 context. The claim's specific casualty figures and location are not supported.
