Verdict history

|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-10-30 18:00 UTC | 2026-11-03 | 2026-12-27 | Checked in the one-time pass of 30 Oct 2026: still open. UKMTO, Ambrey and Vanguard reporting in ev-20261027-63wa show the Ever Lovely was struck on 25 June, but only US Central Command attributes it to Iran and Iran did not claim it. Whether the attack breached the memorandum is a legal reading this ledger does not judge. Next check on the ladder from 2026-06-27 (7 days, 30 days, then quarterly). |
