U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) has issued a fact check disputing several claims made earlier today by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Specifically, CENTCOM rejects IRGC assertions that the Strait of Hormuz is unsafe for commercial shipping, that multiple U.S. military aircraft, including three F-35 fighter jets, have been destroyed, and that the motor tanker Nora successfully breached the U.S. naval blockade of Iran. CENTCOM stated that each of those claims is false, describing them as part of an ongoing Iranian disinformation effort surrounding military operations in the region.
