Claim 1: “"This regime will be in effect until next Saturday morning, April 25," he added.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim specifies a date ('April 25') for the regulation's end. While the evidence provided contains multiple references to dates related to the 2026 Iran war timeline (e.g., '28 February 2026'), none of the gathered web search results or Wikipedia entries confirm the specific end date of 'Saturday, April 25' for the airspace regulation.
