U.S. Strikes IRGC Vessels in Strait of Hormuz, What We Know
Iranian state-aligned channels reported IRGC warning fire from Chamran toward four vessels in the Strait of Hormuz on the same evening US Vice President Vance said a ceasefire-extending MOU was close, exposing a gap between the headline and the sourcing on the wire.
Desk note: The wire record as of 22:53 UTC on 26 May describes warning fire originating from an Iranian position toward commercial vessels in the Strait, with US–Iran negotiations reportedly close to an MOU whose central term is the same waterway. Monexus has framed the headline's "US strikes on IRGC vessels" claim against the sourcing on hand, which currently supports the inverse direction of fire, and has flagged the gap in the analysis above rather than reproducing an uncorroborated framing.
