Trump on Friday derided Iran’s leaders as “deranged scumbags” and said it was his great honor to kill them as the war in the Middle East approached the two-week mark with heavy exchanges of drone and missile strikes across the region.
Iran claims missile, drone strike on US aircraft carrier, causing ‘major damage’
In a late Friday night statement, Iran’s Revolutionary Guard said it had targeted the US aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln with missiles and drones, claiming the strike caused “major damage” to the vessel, according to an Al Jazeera post on X.
The Revolutionary Guard added that the aircraft carrier is now “withdrawing toward America” following the alleged attack.
However, the spokesperson for the US Central Command told Al Jazeera that “the Revolutionary Guard’s claims of targeting the Lincoln aircraft carrier are false,” denying any damage or operational impact on the vessel.
