00:08NASA satellites are picking up something extraordinary right now in the Strait of Hormuz.
00:15Multiple heat signatures, burning vessels, drifting fire spreading across open water,
00:21and the timing lines up exactly with U.S.-Iran clashes on May 8th.
00:26The most important waterway on Earth is on fire.
00:30The question is, whose ships are burning?
00:33NASA's FIRMS system, the Fire Information for Resource Management System,
00:38uses three satellites, SWAMI-NPP, NOAA-20, and NOAA-21,
00:44all equipped with infrared sensors that can detect heat from space.
00:49These aren't missile cameras, they don't show you a warship's name,
00:53but they show you exactly where things are burning,
00:56and right now they're showing fires near key shipping lanes off the Omani coast near the Musandam Peninsula,
01:03fires closer to the Iranian side,
01:06and what analysts are calling likely drifting fire, burning oil or debris spreading with ocean currents.
01:13Here's what's confirmed so far.
01:15U.S. forces struck and disabled at least two Iranian oil tankers attempting to breach a U.S. blockade of
01:23Iranian ports.
01:24The Pentagon released video of those strikes.
01:28Separately, a Chinese-linked tanker called JV Innovation caught fire.
01:33A South Korean-operated vessel exploded and was reported ablaze.
01:37A Thai-flagged tanker was involved in another incident.
01:41Indian nationals were reportedly caught up in a Dow fire in the same area.
01:46This is not one event.
01:47These are multiple vessels, multiple flags, multiple fires,
01:52all in the same stretch of water, in the same overnight window.
01:56Now, the question everyone is asking.
01:58Iran claims it hit U.S. Navy destroyers with one cruise missile and three suicide drones, causing fires aboard American
02:07warships.
02:08The U.S. flatly denies it.
02:11CENTCOM says every incoming projectile was intercepted.
02:14No hits, no casualties, no fires on U.S. vessels.
02:19So here's where it stands.
02:21The fires in the water are real.
02:23NASA confirmed that.
02:24What's disputed is whose ships they're on.
02:26Iran says American warships are burning.
02:30America says Iranian tankers are sinking.
02:33The satellite data doesn't care about the press releases.
02:36It just shows you the heat.
02:38Trump called U.S. actions a love tap and said he's awaiting Iran's response to a proposal.
02:44If this is a love tap, the Strait of Hormuz is wondering what comes next.
02:49Multiple fires, burning vessels, drifting oil slicks visible from space.
02:54A hundred Iranian speedboats are still in formation.
02:58U.S. destroyers exchanging fire with the IRGC.
