Claim 1: “Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said on Sunday that they would not reopen the Strait of Hormuz until the United States complied with a list of demands, including paying compensation for war damages.”
CORROBORATED
The claim is reported by three independent web sources (RTHK and two other news reports) stating that the Revolutionary Guards would not reopen the Strait of Hormuz until US demands, including war reparations, were met. This is further supported by Wikipedia entries regarding the '2026 Iran war' and the '2026 Strait of Hormuz campaign', which provide the broader context of the closure.

Claim 2: “Dr. H.A. Hellyer, Senior Fellow in Geopolitics, International Security, and Middle East Studies, RUSI.”
MISLEADING
While Dr. H.A. Hellyer is associated with RUSI, the evidence from the official RUSI website and the Gulf International Forum specifies his title as 'Senior Associate Fellow', not 'Senior Fellow'. Additionally, the evidence indicates he is a 'Senior Fellow in Geopolitics and Security' at the Center for American Progress, not RUSI. The claim conflates his titles and affiliations.
