Verdict history
| When | From | To | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-10-30 18:00 UTC | 2026-11-03 | 2027-01-01 | Checked in the one-time pass of 30 Oct 2026: still open. The record holds only the opposing statements of Trump and Iran's foreign ministry, and a Fars source's account of a US ceasefire proposal (ev-20261027-efpv); nothing independent shows who asked whom. Next check on the ladder from 2026-04-01 (7 days, 30 days, then quarterly). |
