Iran’s Revolutionary Guard claims four ballistic missiles slammed into the USS Abraham Lincoln in the Gulf – with state media hailing it as a direct strike at “the heart” of US naval power. CENTCOM bluntly calls the claim false, insisting “the Lincoln was not hit” and that the carrier is still launching jets. This as Iranian officials warn they have “no way but to defend” by targeting US bases, and Ali Larijani vows a revenge “they have never experienced.”
