Visual Evidence Queue
Nova is preparing public-source media, map, satellite, maritime, aviation, and official-context evidence for admin review before public placement.
Use thermal detection as corroboration, not as a standalone strike confirmation.
Useful context source, not a high-trust confirmation source by itself.
Always display as operating area / last public signal, never exact live military location.
Show as a zone or pattern, not as precise individual craft tracking unless using verified public data.
Iran War Evidence Ledger

Official and watch-only lanes separate authoritative claims from reader-context maritime signals.
Public ship-traffic context can support reader understanding of chokepoint disruption but should remain watch-only until corroborated.

official public statements and regional military context
shipping disruption advisories and Gulf/Red Sea maritime signals
reader context only until validated against official or independent sources
