U.S. forces deployed in the Middle East continue to maintain a presence in the Strait of Hormuz
2026-10-28


Translated Text:

🚫 Claim: The commander of the IRGC Navy of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps recently claimed that U.S. forces have withdrawn from the Strait of Hormuz by hundreds of "kilometers." This claim is false.

✅ Fact: U.S. forces deployed in the Middle East, as demonstrated by the commander of U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) this past weekend, continue to maintain a presence in the Strait of Hormuz and its surrounding waters and remain vigilant.

U.S. forces and regional partners maintain control over this international waterway; and Iran certainly does not.
