An account reported on 7 October 2026 at 19:45 UTC that Iran is striking ships in the Persian Gulf and not only vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz. The post relays a UKMTO report that a tanker 51 nautical miles north of Madinat ash Shamal, Qatar, was hit by multiple projectiles, with casualties reported. The UKMTO notice itself was not read, so this record is limited to what the account states.

Verification: unverified

Evidence: Relay of a UKMTO report of a tanker hit by multiple projectiles north of Qatar

The source is the X account Spectre Monitor, which relays the UKMTO report rather than publishing it. The UKMTO notice linked or quoted was not read, so the vessel name, the time of the incident, the number of casualties and the attacker are not claimed beyond what the account states. The attribution of the attacks to Iran is the wording of that account; no Iranian statement was read.
