CENTCOM Calls Iran's Claim of Striking USS Abraham Lincoln a 'Lie' — Carrier Continues Combat Sorties

After Iran's IRGC claimed it struck the USS Abraham Lincoln with four ballistic missiles, US Central Command denied the claim, posting: 'Claims to have struck USS Abraham Lincoln with ballistic missiles. LIE.' CENTCOM added that the Lincoln was not hit and the missiles did not even come close, releasing photos of F/A-18 Super Hornets actively launching from the carrier's flight deck. The Abraham Lincoln continues to support Operation Epic Fury combat operations.
