Verdict history
| When | From | To | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-10-30 18:00 UTC | 2026-11-03 | 2026-12-10 | Checked in the one-time pass of 30 Oct 2026: still open. The record holds no independent tally of Iranian missile launches by day, so the 90 percent fall rests on the Pentagon briefing alone. Next check on the ladder from 2026-03-10 (7 days, 30 days, then quarterly). |
