IRGC spokesman Brigadier General Mohebbi, named Sardar Mohebbi in one report, says the US claim of mine-clearing in the Strait of Hormuz, attributed to CENTCOM, must be proven with independent evidence rather than statements. One report adds that the reality of the strait will be determined in the air, on land and at sea. Both reports relay the same IRGC statement, and no other source has confirmed or denied it.
