IRGC claims US Navy retreated 1,000 km from Iranian coast

IRGC Rear Admiral Ali Fadawi claims Iranian forces have pushed US Navy ships over 1,000 km away from Iran's coastline. This is an unverified assertion, likely aimed at domestic audiences and signaling continued deterrence posture. The claim, if true, would indicate a significant shift in US naval presence in the Persian Gulf, but no independent corroboration exists.
