Claim 2: “Ships are anchored in the Strait of Hormuz on August 10, 2026, off the coast of Bandar Abbas, Iran”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
Wikipedia entries for the '2026 Strait of Hormuz campaign' and '2026 Strait of Hormuz crisis' confirm that the Strait was blocked by Iran starting February 28, 2026, and that the US began an aerial campaign on March 19, 2026, to reopen it. While the specific date of August 10 for ships being anchored off Bandar Abbas is not explicitly detailed in the snippet, the broader context of the 2026 crisis and the geography of the Strait (Iran's north coast) is verified by reference.
