Iran’s Revolutionary Guard claims it has hit the US aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln with a combined barrage of attack drones and missiles, declaring the nuclear‑powered ship a “primary target” in its revenge campaign over devastating US‑Israeli strikes on Iran’s leadership.

US Central Command flatly denies the carrier was damaged, insisting the projectiles either missed or were intercepted and that the Lincoln remains “fully mission‑capable,” still launching sorties into Iranian airspace. Viral clips purporting to show the carrier in flames have already been debunked by US officials and independent fact‑checkers, but they continue to race across social platforms, feeding speculation and panic.
