Iran Claims Missile Attack on US Aircraft Carrier, US Official Denies

Iran's Revolutionary Guard announced that it launched an attack with four ballistic missiles against the US aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, located in the Middle East. According to the Iranian side, the carrier was hit, and they warned that the sea and land would become "graveyards" for "terrorists". However, a US official denied the claim, stating that the missile did not reach the ship and caused no damage. The aircraft carrier continues its operations normally. The Revolutionary Guard's announcement comes during a period of heightened tension in the region, following recent attacks on Israel and retaliatory moves.
