Iran’s Navy has claimed it fired cruise missiles toward U.S. aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln and forced it to change course, according to official state news agency IRNA. The action was aimed at demonstrating Iran’s naval dominance in response to threats from “hostile fleets,” the navy said.
There was no immediate reaction from the Pentagon. President Trump told reporters yesterday the Abraham Lincoln was shot at with more than 100 missiles, but all of them were intercepted. He had previously said that the U.S. has effectively obliterated the Iranian Navy. “The performance and movements of the hostile Abraham Lincoln strike group are constantly being monitored, and it will be targeted as soon as it comes within missile range,” IRNA quoted Iran’s Navy Chief Admiral Shahram Irani as saying in separate comments this morning. Iran’s Navy will not rest until it avenges the deaths of sailors killed when the U.S. torpedoed an Iranian warship in international waters earlier this month, Shahram said.
