Iran Claims Its Anti-Ship Missile Bombarded US Aircraft Carrier; CENTCOM Calls It 'Fake Claim'
Iranian media released footage claiming to show anti-ship cruise missiles launched toward the U.S. aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72). The video reportedly shows missiles fired from Iran’s coastline streaking across the waters toward the 100,000-ton nuclear-powered carrier operated by the United States Navy. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy claimed the strike occurred near the Strait of Hormuz as the carrier approached from the Gulf of Oman, alleging the warship was targeted about 340 km from Iran’s maritime borders. However, Tehran has not provided verifiable proof of the claim. Meanwhile, United States Central Command released images showing the carrier operating at sea, pushing back against Iranian claims that the vessel had been struck or sunk.
