Iranian media are publishing some details of the attack on the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln. The IRGC reported that the US Navy carrier group was attacked by 4 cruise missiles at the time of its location at a distance of up to 300 km from the coast of Iran.
The enemy aircraft carrier and its escort group were 250-300 km off the coast of Chabahar (an Iranian port on the Arabian Sea). After launching four cruise missiles, it was forced to retreat to the southeastern Indian Ocean, leaving its warplanes out of striking range.
As a reminder, the US side claimed that Iran posed no threat to the carrier strike group led by the USS Abraham Lincoln.
However, there is growing evidence that, following a report from the carrier strike group commander, the US Navy command ordered the aircraft carrier to withdraw — precisely after the Iranian attack.
It is not reported whether any serious damage was caused to the aircraft carrier.

Meanwhile, the Americans and Israelis are not slowing down the pace of their strikes against Iran. According to the latest reports, an IRGC intelligence complex in Tehran was attacked.
Bombings are also underway against Iranian army positions in border regions and the port area. These latest developments indirectly suggest that the US may be preparing for a ground invasion.
However, experts predict that such an invasion, if it occurs, will be limited, and will be in support of the forces the US and Israel have sponsored in the region. One option is Kurdish armed groups.
This, in turn, is also a wake-up call for neighboring Turkey. If the USA and Israel succeed in fragmenting Iran through armed Kurds, seizing “Kurdish” provinces, then, despite any intransigence on Ankara’s part, something similar could sooner or later follow.
Or, at a minimum, it could be used as a lever of pressure in dealing with the Turkish leadership.
Considering that the Kurdish population in modern Turkey exceeds 20 million (about a quarter of the country’s total population), such pressure could have the most undesirable consequences for the authorities.

Apart from Iran,s own media that it struck the aircraft carrier it does carry some weight that the Times of Israel obviously biased in Americas direction also published the same . Whatever the reason its action that counts and the fact that the US carrier withdrew knowing the arrogance of Donald to not lose face points to a strategic withdrawal in the face of Iranian missile attack . Obviously never sunk it but must have hit it or slightly damaged it. I doubt Israel will go to war against Turkey as its leader is just as belligerent as Netanyahu is… Read more »
