- 100 outlets in 56 countries, across 5 regions, 1 of them trade press. The article links are no longer held: they lasted a week past the story’s last article; the outlet list is permanent. Of the 100 outlets, 9 state-owned, 8 public-service, 83 private. A count of countries is not a count of independent press systems.

- Timeline
- Earliest article An-Nahar, 25 Sept 2026, 00:03 UTC. First seen 25 Sept 2026, 00:10 UTC. Last seen 26 Sept 2026, 14:10 UTC. The earliest article is the earliest claimed publication time among the outlets Loudest reads, a claim rather than an observation and not a record of who broke the story (the data files call it the lead article); first seen is when Loudest first fetched an article of it, from which the running time counts.
- Classification
- Region Middle East, Iran. Topic Shipping & trade. Hard news Judged hard news. On the map. Whether the story is hard news under the rule in the methodology, judged from its headlines by a model; a story judged outside the rule is left off the map and kept here. The region and country are where the story is about, not where it was covered.
- Score
- 38.84, at the end of the last day measured. One vote per general-press country and a smaller term for outlets, each counted from the moment it joined the story and fading on its own clock, so a late article does not renew the rest. A day in the archive keeps the score it was ranked by that day.
- Chain
- Continues Iran offers to reopen Hormuz Strait within seven days. A story continues another when it resembled it as it began, past that story’s own 48-hour box.
- Day by day
Outlets and countries are the story’s whole life as of that midnight; the 24-hour columns are that day’s own coverage; the last column is the methodology version the day was measured under, and a day that spans a change of version shows the first and last, linked to the changelog that lists every version between. A day marked partial is one Loudest read only in part: fewer than 130 of its 144 ten-minute runs, or more than 30 minutes missed at its start or end.
