درباره خسارت‌های نیروی دریایی ایران در جنگ ۴۰ روزه چه می‌دانیم؟

Publisher’s rating: با وجود خسارت‌های قابل توجه، به نظر می‌رسد بخشی از توان نامتقارن سپاه پاسداران، یعنی قایق‌های تندرو، مین‌های دریایی، موشک‌های ساحلی و شناورهای بدون سرنشین، همچنان باقی مانده و می‌تواند در خلیج فارس و تنگه هرمز تهدید ایجاد کند.

نشرت حسابات على منصة التواصل الاجتماعي فيس بوك مقطع فيديو مدعية أنه للحظة إسقاط مسيرة فوق مطارح الريان بمحافظة الجوف اليمنية اليوم

Publisher’s rating: مضلل

The review found the claim misleading: reverse-image searches showed the video was assembled from earlier footage with unrelated contexts. It says the first shot came from a tribal armed display in a Yemeni governorate in early June 2025, while the falling drone footage showed a drone being shot down over El Obeid, North Kordofan, Sudan.

"Following the American attack on the *Shahid Haqqani* in Bandar Abbas, Iran has just launched a retaliatory strike against highly classified American facilities in response to the U.S. attack on the *Shahid Haqqani* in Bandar Abbas".

Publisher’s rating: False

DW found that the video did not show a secret U.S. facility struck by Iran: it showed a market fire in St. Petersburg, Russia, in December. The review says the video had previously circulated with false claims about other attacks and geolocates the incident to the Pravoberezkny Market.

The review says the circulated order was fabricated, noting that it bore the old date 4 July 2025 and that forensic analysis found distortions throughout the document. It reports that the order was being circulated as a directive to several forces to raise combat readiness to the highest level. [S1]
