- Fact check: Viral video does not show Iranian Navy destroying ship in Strait of Hormuz amid renewed hostilities
A viral video falsely claimed to show the Iranian Navy destroying a ship in the Strait of Hormuz amid Middle East tensions. The video actually shows the US Navy destroying an Iranian Soleimani-class corvette in the Persian Gulf. Pro-Iranian accounts on X shared the video with misleading captions, while a fact-check confirmed the footage is old and unrelated to recent events.
