IRGC deputy commander says enemy forces have withdrawn more than 500 km from Iran’s southern seas

What happened: Maj. Gen. Izadi said enemy forces have fled from Iran’s southern seas and the distance may increase. Attribution and details: The deputy commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps told Manshur that "enemies, out of fear of Iran, have moved away from the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman and are more than 500 kilometers distant; given the current situation of the United States this distance could increase further." Additional claim: He added that regional countries have realized that the U.S. presence is not security‑producing and is in fact counterproductive. (Source: Rooydad24)
