Iran Says It Fired Cruise Missiles on USS Abraham Lincoln
Adding a stark warning to the announcement, Iran's Navy Commander Shahram Irani declared the American warship remains under continuous surveillance and would face "crushing" attacks again the moment it re-enters the range of Iranian missile systems, the semi-official Fars news agency reported Wednesday.
Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf took to social media platform X to amplify the message, stating that Tehran is actively tracking all US military movements throughout the West Asia region — with particular attention to troop deployments.
The dramatic developments represent a significant escalation in a region already pushed to the brink. Joint US-Israeli strikes against Iran, launched on February 28, triggered a cascade of retaliatory attacks by Tehran and its network of regional allies on Israeli and American interests across the Middle East — a cycle of strikes and counter-strikes that has shown no signs of abating.
The US military had not issued an immediate public response to Iran's claims of a successful strike against the Abraham Lincoln at the time of reporting.
