How Warconomy uses this source

WEAK SOURCE, admitted deliberately and labeled. Independent trackers and news aggregation covering the 2026 Strait of Hormuz crisis: the 17-18 June 2026 U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding, a subsequent recovery to a reported 38-43 daily transits (attributed to Kpler) versus a pre-crisis level above 100 daily ship transits, and reported renewed vessel strikes from 7 July 2026 including an ADNOC-operated vessel and one reported mariner death. These are fast-moving, partly single-sourced claims that no Tier A body has yet published a consolidated verified series for; they are used as directional context and explicitly NOT as verified transit statistics. Warconomy is not a live vessel tracker and holds no AIS licence.

Citation readiness is a derived label from the source’s authority, role, and how directly it backs a maintained value — not a correctness claim.
