Has the Aircraft Carrier Eisenhower Withdrawn from the Eastern Mediterranean?

Social media circulated a video showing a ship leaving the Strait of Hormuz. According to these platforms, the video depicts the "departure of the American aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower from the Gulf under the surveillance of speedboats and missile launchers belonging to the Revolutionary Guard, covered by anti-ship missiles and combat drones from the Strait of Hormuz." A preliminary report on Telegram indicates that "after 67 drones flew over the American ships, the American vessels announce their repositioning in the Strait of Hormuz." On the other hand, there has been no statement issued by the US Fifth Fleet, which is based in the territorial waters opposite Bahrain. There is also no information regarding "re-deployment" or withdrawal from that area.
