The US aircraft carriers are not in the Persian Gulf; they have withdrawn 1,000 km from the coast of Iran. This was announced by the deputy commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Ali Fadavi, on the air of the Iranian state television and radio company IRIB.

“We used only a small part of our force, and the Americans knew this, so they withdrew a thousand kilometers,” the Iranian military said.

Fadavi said the US warships were the most vulnerable point of the country. According to him, Washington is sending false signals, since the American warships are actually much further away than they claim. According to the IRGC official, this indicates the full readiness of the Iranian forces.
