Iran targeted the USS Abraham Lincoln, but the “missiles launched didn’t even come close,” according to a social media post from US Central Command (Centcom).

“The Lincoln was not hit,” the post said. “The missiles launched didn’t even come close. The Lincoln continues to launch aircraft in support of Centcom’s relentless campaign to defend the American people by eliminating threats from the Iranian regime.”

Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps, the country’s most powerful military body, was quoted earlier in an Iranian news outlet as saying that four ballistic missiles had targeted the ship.

Meanwhile...

Donald Trump said that the US has destroyed nine Iranian navy ships and largely destroyed Iran’s naval headquarters.

“I have just been informed that we have destroyed and sunk 9 Iranian Naval Ships, some of them relatively large and important,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social. “We are going after the rest — They will soon be floating at the bottom of the sea, also! In a different attack, we largely destroyed their Naval Headquarters.”

Who knows what the targets actually were; they could have been small torpedo boats or something and that shit gibbon would pretend it was the Spanish Armada, but in general it's sadly starting to look like a lot of the resistance talk was just that. It feels like they are hitting what they want (and of course plenty that they don't intend), without too many problems and the limited strikes on bases are not doing much to slow things down. Early days perhaps but I have a sinking feeling.
