Breaking News: U.S. officials have just told Al Jazeera that the U.S. "Abraham Lincoln" aircraft carrier was attacked by Iranian missiles, but the missiles did not come close to the ship and caused no damage. The Iranian attack did not affect the aircraft carrier, which is still continuing its military mission.

Comment: Iran's announcement of a strike on the aircraft carrier is a political declaration and a show of deterrence. Even if it missed, it demonstrates a firm will to strike enemies, and at the same time pushes the high-risk confrontation between the U.S. and Iran to a dangerous edge.
