Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Abadan, Iran — The entry says 'besieging Abadan for 1' — this is incomplete and factually incorrect; the siege lasted approximately 540 days.

Arak, Iran — The claim that the fortress was completed around 1808 is not consistently supported; most sources date completion to 1810–1812.

Arak, Iran — The statement that 'until 1892, the town remained a military base and fortress' is imprecise; the town expanded earlier and 1892 is not a widely cited definitive end date.

Ardabil — The claim that Ardabil was the principal city of Azerbaijan until the 10th century, after which the capital moved to Tabriz, is inaccurate; Tabriz became the capital earlier, by the 9th century at the latest.

Bandar Abbas — The LORE section incorrectly states that Persians recovered Bandar Abbas in 1854; in reality, the Omani lease continued until 1868, with a renewal in 1856 after British mediation, not a Persian recovery.

Bandar Abbas — The LORE section claims the lease was renewed on favorable terms after the Anglo-Persian War, but the terms were imposed under British pressure and not necessarily favorable to Persia.
