Iran’s Revolutionary Guards have issued a statement claiming that the U.S. Navy's aircraft carrier, Ford, has withdrawn from the Middle East, reflecting what they describe as the "desperate and humiliating" situation of the United States and Israel. According to Jin10, the carrier was initially deployed to the region amid significant attention from Western media but failed to provide support to U.S. forces. The U.S. Naval Institute News reported on March 17 that the Ford, which was involved in large-scale military operations against Iran by the U.S. and Israel, is preparing to leave the Red Sea following a fire last week. It is headed to a U.S. naval base in Greece for repairs.
