Published: March 19, 2026
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The Iranian Army announced that its missiles have forced the US navy’s aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln to retreat from the region.
The Army of the Islamic Republic of Iran announced in a statement on Wednesday that it has conducted missiles strikes against the US in response to the enemy’s evil crimes.
It noted that the launch of powerful coast-to-sea missiles have repelled USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) and shooed the American aircraft carrier away from the region.
The US and the Israeli regime launched a large-scale unprovoked military campaign against Iran following the assassination of Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, along with several senior military commanders and civilians on February 28.
The attacks have involved extensive aerial strikes on both military and civilian locations across Iran, causing significant casualties and widespread damage to infrastructure.
In response, the Iranian Armed Forces have carried out retaliatory operations, targeting American and Israeli positions in the occupied territories and at regional bases with waves of missiles and drones.
