Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed that ballistic missiles and drones struck the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier in the Sea of Oman, asserting severe damage and a forced withdrawal. Tehran’s statement said the attack occurred about 340 km from its maritime borders, with state media claiming U.S. vessels fled at high speed. Washington’s U.S. Central Command denied the claim, releasing photos and stating the carrier remains fully operational supporting Operation Epic Fury. Conflicting narratives reflect escalating tensions between Iran and U.S./Israeli forces in the broader Middle East conflict. (PC: X)
