“The aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln, which had approached 340 kilometers from Iran's maritime borders in the Sea of ​​Oman in a bid to manage the Strait of Hormuz, was hit by drones of the Iranian Islamic Revolution Guard Corps Navy,” Spokesperson for the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters said.

The spokesperson added the ship rapidly fled with its destroyers, and is now now thousand kilometers away from the region.

A few days ago the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) had announced that the USS Abraham Lincoln has been targeted by four ballistic missiles as part of Operation True Promise 4.

The powerful blows by the Islamic Republic of Iran’s armed forces against the enemy has entered a new phase and land and sea will become the burial place for terrorist aggressors, it added.
