What we can confirm

Major, credible news outlets and official bodies report no ongoing large-scale US–Iran war, no series of renewed US strikes on Iran in retaliation for recent Iranian firing on US troops, and no US attack on an Egyptian port with a US-owned floating storage tanker hit by a drone as described in the image on the date in question. The screenshot appears to be fabricated or miscaptioned content mimicking a live war blog format rather than a report of real current events.
