U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) has denied Iranian claims that American soldiers were captured or killed, stating the reports are false. The denial is the latest in a series of CENTCOM rebuttals of false Iranian casualty claims across the Middle East.
U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) has denied Iranian claims that American soldiers were captured or killed, reiterating that no U.S. personnel were taken or harmed. The denial, reported by a regional channel, is the latest in a series of CENTCOM rebuttals of false Iranian casualty claims. As The Zioneer has previously reported, CENTCOM has over the past weeks repeatedly rejected Iranian media reports alleging U.S. casualties in Iraq, Kuwait, and the Gulf of Oman, calling them false and unfounded. The consistency of the denials suggests a pattern of Iranian disinformation regarding military operations in the region. No corroborating evidence of the Iranian claims has been presented.
