Open Source Intel reported on 3 October 2026 that Dmitry Medvedev said Iran plays a key role in securing the Strait of Hormuz. The message carrying that wording was located on the same account after the permalink first registered for it proved to point to an unrelated post about a cockpit incident. The relaying account gives no date, time or venue for Medvedev's words and no primary transcript from his own account was found, so the claim stays attributed to that account.

Verification: unverified

Evidence: Open Source Intel relays Medvedev saying Iran plays a key role in securing the Strait of Hormuz

Single X account, Open Source Intel, relaying in one line what it attributes to Dmitry Medvedev. The permalink registered earlier pointed to an unrelated post of the same account about a cockpit incident, and the message that does carry this wording was located on the same account and re-read in full. No primary transcript from Medvedev's own account was found, and the wording is a paraphrase in the relaying account's own summary voice.
