Claim: The naval commander of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps recently claimed that US forces have left this area by withdrawing a few kilometers from the Strait of Hormuz. This claim is false. Fact: US forces stationed in the Middle East are still present and vigilant in the Strait of Hormuz and the surrounding waters, as the commander of CENTCOM (US Central Command) pointed out this weekend. US forces and regional partners control this international waterway - and it's definitely not Iran.
