Conflicting Reports Emerge Over Alleged Missile Incident Involving USS Abraham Lincoln nt

Tensions at sea intensified after Iranian officials claimed that missiles had struck the USS Abraham Lincoln, one of the United States’ most prominent aircraft carriers operating in the Arabian Sea.
According to statements released by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), a coordinated strike involving anti-ship missile systems targeted the carrier strike group, with state-linked media distributing video footage and satellite imagery they say shows smoke rising from the vessel.
Iranian sources described the incident as a significant operational development, asserting that the carrier altered its course following the reported attack.
