Iran’s state media claims the navy fired coastal cruise missiles at the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group, releasing footage of the alleged launch and saying the US fleet was forced to change position. Iranian commanders said the carrier was being tracked continuously and warned it would be targeted once inside missile range. There is no confirmation from the United States so far.

US President Donald Trump claimed that American Patriot air defence systems intercepted 100 Iranian missiles during a high speed attack targeting a critical asset. According to Trump, not a single missile penetrated US defences, highlighting the effectiveness of the Patriot system. The statement follows Iranian claims that cruise missiles were launched at the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier group, forcing the fleet to reposition. Tehran also warned of further strikes if US naval forces approach Iranian waters. The escalation comes as missile and drone exchanges intensify across the Middle East, with additional US military assets reportedly deployed to strengthen regional defence networks.

Tensions in the Middle East intensify after the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed reports from Iran of a projectile strike near the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant. While no casualties or technical damage have been reported, the incident has added a fresh layer of volatility to an already fragile geopolitical situation. Iran has firmly rejected the United States’ ceasefire push, casting doubt on Washington’s reported 15-point plan. In a strongly worded statement on state television, Lt Col Ebrahim Zolfaghari accused the US of “negotiating with itself,” dismissing any claims of active diplomatic engagement. His message was clear and uncompromising - no deal, not now, not ever.

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
