There are many prophecies of the Bible that are not fulfilled at one time like the Tyre prophecy. Jesus fulfilled portions of prophecies in His first coming and is due to fulfilled the remainder during His second coming. So we can take the detailed fulfillment of some prophecies as assurance that all will eventually be fulfilled.

The Tyre which exists today is a port city in Lebanon, the original island still unoccupied.

Tyre is an ancient Phoenician city [...] Today it is the fourth largest city in
Lebanon[4] and houses one of the nation's major ports. Tourism is a major industry.
The city has a number of ancient sites, including its Roman Hippodrome which was added
to UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites in 1979.

Wanna try again? 😕[/b]As I pointed out, the city of Tyre which exists today is decidedly not the city which previously existed--- and we are speaking merely metaphysically-speaking--- nor does it occupy the same area once occupied by Tyre of yore.
If the entire city of New York were destroyed as the nation known as the United States of America came to its close, any city eventually erected by another nation could call their city "New York," but it wouldn't be the same.
In the case of this prophecy, the condemnation was on a very prominent city-state of the very prominent nation of Phoenicia.
Owing to the resident's arrogance toward their some-time trading partner, God told them they would be wiped out and off the globe.
Their entire city was wiped out, the major part of the city's previous domain to this day remains unoccupied.
What eventually was built upon a portion of the city's former area is the result of a completely different nation.
And being the fourth largest city in Lebanon is nowhere near the lofty status Tyre of Phoenicia used to enjoy, neither in terms of economy or culture.
Apples and oranges, really.

cities will be laid to waste, for fishing nets (or whatever) and never rebuilt, but it's been
rebuilt several times, at that same location.
The island is now connected to the main land thanks to alexander's land bridge, around
which sediment has accumulated to make the island part of the main land. So even though
the prophecy states that the city of tyre will be under water and never found again, ancient
buildings from the city are above water and obviously they've been found again.
It's a failed prophecy.

Tyre originally consisted of a mainland settlement and a modest island city that lay a short distance off shore.
The ruins on the mainland are still there to visit, however the island city is not there any longer.
