US Central Command (CENTCOM) pushed back Thursday on claims made by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) following the latest pounding by U.S. air power against Iranian targets on Wednesday.
CENTCOM used social media to respond to the latest three unsupportable claims by the IRGC.
“FIRST CLAIM: The IRGC (again) claims free and open routes through the Strait of Hormuz are dangerous for commercial vessels.
“SECOND CLAIM: The IRGC claims Three U.S. F-35 stealth fighters and three other aircraft were destroyed during a recent Iranian attack on an American air base.
"THIRD CLAIM: Iranian state media is reporting that a commercial oil tanker, M/T Nora, has broken through the U.S. blockade.
