US Central Command stated that Iranian state media claimed for five consecutive days that Iranian forces had sunk an American aircraft carrier. The command published a video to show that the carrier is still operational in the region. It added that the Iranian narrative later changed, claiming the carrier 'miraculously resurfaced' and left the battlefield after what they described as a 'confrontation with Iranian missiles and drones'. US Central Command (CENTCOM) released a recent video of the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier, stating this was in response to Iranian claims about targeting and sinking the carrier. The video's release came after statements by the president.
