US EditionU.S. Fired at Iranian Vessel that Approached Aircraft Carrier, Officials Say
- On Thursday, CBS News reported that U.S. naval forces fired on an Iranian vessel that approached the USS Abraham Lincoln earlier this week, citing two U.S. officials.
- The USS Abraham Lincoln and its escorts, including the USS Spruance and USS Michael Murphy, arrived in late January as part of what President Trump described as an 'armada,' with six other destroyers operating in the Arabian Sea last week.
- A U.S. warship attempted to fire its Mark 45 5‑inch/54‑caliber naval gun but missed multiple times before a Navy helicopter struck the Iranian vessel with two Hellfire missiles.
- The condition of the Iranian vessel and its crew remains unknown, and Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed major damage to the carrier, which U.S. Central Command denied.
- CENTCOM says it has damaged most of Iran's naval registry, systematically targeting small craft, with at least 90 U.S. strikes since February 28; the Abraham Lincoln is one of two American aircraft carriers deployed to the Middle East.
