Iran Claims Ballistic Missile Strike on USS Abraham Lincoln

Iran Claims Ballistic Missile Strike on USS Abraham Lincoln

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claims its missiles struck the USS Abraham Lincoln as it sailed near the Strait of Hormuz after approaching from the Gulf of Oman. Tehran insists the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier and its escort ships were targeted roughly 340 km from Iran’s maritime borders, prompting what Iranian officials describe as a “rapid withdrawal” from the alleged strike zone. Tehran’s spokesperson even says the carrier and destroyers sped away more than 1,000 km from the scene in high‑speed maneuvers. But the U.S. military has strongly pushed back, refuting Iran’s account and stating categorically that no missiles came near the Abraham Lincoln. WATCH... [Read More]
