US Central Command: Claim: Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' naval commander recently claimed that US forces have abandoned the Strait of Hormuz by moving hundreds of "miles" away. This is FALSE. Fact: US forces deployed to the Middle East remain present and vigilant in the Strait of Hormuz and surrounding waters, as the CENTCOM commander demonstrated over the weekend. US forces and regional partners control the international waterway - obviously not Iran.
