[1] They do nothing to confirm if the information is relevant or not.
[2] They do nothing to confirm if the information is relevant
[3] They do nothing to confirm whether the information is relevant or not.
Among these sentences, Which one is correct?

I have known that in these sentences, "if" is NOT used with "or not" but only "whether" is used with "or not" together.

Do you agree with me?

I want to know what is true.
