US forces remain present in the Strait of Hormuz and surrounding waters, US Central Command said Tuesday, rejecting a Revolutionary Guards claim that American forces had retreated hundreds of kilometers.
In a post on X, CENTCOM said the claim by the Revolutionary Guards' navy commander was false and that US forces remained vigilant in the waterway.
Ali Azmaei, commander of the Revolutionary Guards' navy, said last week that American forces had withdrawn 600 to 700 kilometers from the strait and that US warships were no longer visible in the Persian Gulf.
“U.S. forces and regional partners control the international waterway, clearly not Iran,” CENTCOM said.
