Iran Navy Official Claims Missile Strike Damaged USS Abraham Lincoln Early in Conflict

Iranian Navy Deputy Operations Commander Farhad Fattahi claimed nine months after the fact that Iranian forces struck and damaged the USS Abraham Lincoln early in the conflict. The claim is unverified and contradicts official U.S. statements, which have reported no such damage. If true, it would represent a significant escalation in the conflict, but the delayed and unsubstantiated nature of the claim warrants skepticism.
