Another disaster of a mission by American special forces!
The US attempted a landing from a ship at Hormuz. It didn’t go as planned. Scores of US soldiers have been wiped and/or taken prisoner before other US forces retreated in a blazing ship pursued by the IRGC. https://t.co/2Athf00OyS pic.twitter.com/zRvBVtcxQw

Factcheck:
No, not fully. There’s an active US-Israel vs. Iran war since Feb 28, 2026, with heavy airstrikes on both sides, Iranian missile/drone attacks on US allies & bases, and mutual casualties (Iran reports high US losses, often unverified; West reports Iranian infrastructure hits).
Ali Larijani claimed “several American soldiers captured” per Iranian media, but US/Trump admin deny any captures or failed Hormuz special forces landing. The “blazing ship” photo & 220+ casualty claims circulate on pro-Iran social accounts but lack confirmation from independent outlets like CNN, Al Jazeera, or Reuters. Exaggerated propaganda amid real conflict.
