Can’t tell40% confidence3 sourcesOct 11, 2026Jim Risch voted 14 times to keep the Iran war going.Source 2 says Risch has voted repeatedly against measures to end the Iran war, which supports the general direction of the claim. No source gives the figure of 14 votes, and none contradicts it, so the specific count cannot be verified. The extracted claim matches the claimant's passage, which also says 14 votes.Can’t tell40% confidence5 sourcesOct 11, 2026More than 850 American soldiers have been permanently injured in the Iran war.The claim's figure of more than 850 is close to the Pentagon's reported wounded total (865 as of Oct 10, 2026, per sources [3] and [9]), but every source counts all wounded troops, not those permanently injured. No source reports a permanent-injury count, so the central 'permanently injured' assertion is not addressed. The extracted claim matches the passage's wording, and the sources are consistent with the 850+ figure as of 2026-10-11 for wounded, not permanent injuries.Can’t tell30% confidence6 sourcesOct 11, 2026There are 5,000 Idahoans on active duty.None of the sources gives a total for Idahoans on active duty as of 2026-10-11. The only Idaho-specific headcount, about 3,000 Idaho National Guard soldiers, measures a different component, so it neither confirms nor refutes the 5,000 figure. The extracted claim matches the passage's figure and scope, so no extraction drift needs correcting.
