IRGC expounds on US Gerald Ford’s retreat in a statement

TEHRAN, Mar. 20 (MNA) – The Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) has announced the retreat of USS Gerald Ford aircraft carrier away from the Persian Gulf for fear of being attacked.

In a statement released late on Thursday, IRGC stated, “What kind of "military giant" is the one that falls into crisis upon a fire breaking out in its own laundry room and is forced to leave the battlefield?”

The sudden retreat of the USS Gerald Ford aircraft carrier, from the scene of battlefield and its failure to provide military support to the exhausted and defeated American soldiers in West Asia proved the hollow nature of the material power of the arrogance, the statement read. 

The carrier's change of course towards the US base and its attempt to avoid passing through the Bab al-Mandeb Strait put a question mark as why should a $13 billion American warship fear a few thousand-dollar speedboats belonging to the Resistance forces. 

Although such an unstable and precarious situation has occurred in recent days for another American carrier, Abraham Lincoln, in the Indian Ocean, the IRGC noted, asking "the liar" US president Trump, who claims to have destroyed Iran's navy, as why doesn’t he order the movement of American warships towards the Sea of Oman and the Red Sea?
