Why we checked itEl-Sayed asserts Iran has bombed multiple countries and choked off the world's energy supply — specific geopolitical claims verifiable against reported events.
What we foundIran has genuinely bombed multiple countries in the Middle East and disrupted global energy supply via the Strait of Hormuz, but the claim overstates the framing: Iran's attacks were retaliatory in character (responding to U.S.-Israeli strikes), and the energy disruption is a consequence of a wider war rather than a deliberate, standalone act of 'choking off' the world's energy supply.
