Verdict history
| When | From | To | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-10-30 18:00 UTC | 2026-11-03 | 2026-12-14 | Checked in the one-time pass of 30 Oct 2026: still open. The record holds the UAE's denial and Iran's opposing assertion (ev-20261027-e9gp, ev-20261027-1983), but no independent evidence of where strikes on Iran were launched from. Next check on the ladder from 2026-03-14 (7 days, 30 days, then quarterly). |
