The United States military has categorically rejected claims made by Iran that it successfully struck the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln.
In a clear dismissal of the Iranian assertions, US officials confirmed that the key naval vessel remains completely undamaged.
Key details from the US military statement:
- No Impact: “The Lincoln was not hit,” the official statement confirmed.
- Missiles Missed Widely: The military emphasized that the weapons fired by Iran “didn’t even come close” to the aircraft carrier.
- Operations Continue: The USS Abraham Lincoln remains fully operational. The carrier “continues to launch aircraft” in support of what the military described as a “relentless campaign to defend the American people by eliminating threats from the Iranian regime.”
The statement reinforces that the US Navy’s presence and operational capabilities in the region remain unaffected despite the claims.
