Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy claimed on Friday that its ballistic missiles struck the US aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, rendering it non-operational and forcing it to retreat from the Gulf waters. Washington, however, has denied the claim, stating that the aircraft carrier “continues to support Operation Epic Fury.”
According to CBS News, a US Navy vessel reportedly fired on an Iranian ship that sailed too close to the Abraham Lincoln, though it remains unclear whether the vessel was hit. The status of the Iranian ship and its crew is unknown.
