Regarding the news about the attack on the U.S. aircraft carrier, a U.S. official told Al Jazeera: 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 attack did not affect this aircraft carrier, which is still continuing its military mission.
According to multiple authoritative sources, U.S. officials have confirmed the following to Al Jazeera:
Attack occurred: The U.S. "Abraham Lincoln" aircraft carrier was indeed attacked by Iranian missiles.
Assessment results: No damage was caused; the missiles did not come close to the ship, and no damage was done to the carrier itself.
Mission unaffected: The carrier is still continuing its scheduled military mission.
This information differs from some of the rumors circulating online about "U.S. ships being heavily damaged." According to the current official statements, this was an attack that the U.S. successfully defended against or avoided, and it did not pose a substantial threat or loss to the U.S. forces.
It should be noted that this is a one-sided statement from the U.S. side. There is currently a lack of independent third-party verification, and it is also unclear what Iran's account of the incident is.
One point cannot be ignored: Since Iran dared to strike the U.S. aircraft carrier, it proves that Iran is not afraid of American deterrence, and has the capability and preparedness to deal with all reactions that may result from attacking the aircraft carrier.
This clearly shows that Iran is not a country that can be easily taken down by the United States, which is exactly the great risk of Trump's strike on Iran.
