The Guardian has issued corrections for two articles published in recent editions. In an article titled "Flow of ships weakens as Iran seeks to tighten control of Hormuz" (6 July, p21, early editions), an editing error stated that nine observed crossings of the Strait of Hormuz on 2 July were "in contravention of sanctions." In fact, the crossings were approved.
Correction on Strait of Hormuz Crossings
The error occurred during the editing process. The article incorrectly characterized the nature of the ship movements. The corrected information confirms that the crossings complied with relevant regulations.
Correction on Budapest Bar Name
In the article "My search for the perfect ruin bar in Budapest" (11 July, Saturday magazine, p76), the bar Fekete Kutya (Black Dog) was misnamed as "Feteke Kutya." This error appeared only in the print edition.
Other recently amended articles include: "Adapting to the heat: four ideas from European cities," "Cambridge University’s proposed Saudi deal endangers academic freedom," "Airline pilot skywrites ‘I’m bored’ over England-Wales border," "Britain’s cars and SUVs are growing bigger – but there is a way to stop this deadly ‘carspreading’," "UK becoming ‘wild west’ for experimental peptides, expert warns," and "Country diary: This ‘secret’ island takes me back to Swallows and Amazons."
