A post circulating on social media platforms including Threads, Facebook, and Link claimed that Indonesia's National Commission on Human Rights (Komnas HAM) and Human Rights Minister Natalius Pigai had urged Iran to withdraw its troops from the Strait of Hormuz. However, this claim is false.
According to a fact-check by Tempo.co, neither Komnas HAM nor Minister Pigai made any such statement. The Strait of Hormuz is a strategic waterway located between Iran and Oman, far from Indonesia's jurisdiction, and Indonesia has no official position on military deployments there.
The viral post appears to be fabricated, possibly to mislead readers about Indonesia's foreign policy or to create false controversy. Tempo.co's investigation found no credible sources supporting the claim.
Readers are advised to verify such claims through official channels and reputable news outlets before sharing. As of June 7, 2026, no evidence exists that Indonesia's human rights officials commented on the Strait of Hormuz.
