The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Navy has successfully targeted the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier using advanced domestically-produced drones, forcing the strike group into a rapid retreat near Iranian territorial waters.
A spokesperson for the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters confirmed the operation on Wednesday, stating that the carrier was intercepted approximately 340 kilometers from Iran’s maritime borders in the Sea of Oman.

Following the impact, the USS Abraham Lincoln and its accompanying destroyers were observed fleeing the engagement zone at high speed.
“The carrier group has since retreated more than 1,000 kilometers away from the region,” the spokesperson noted, emphasizing that the US military presence failed to achieve its objective of intimidation.
It’s better to get them to run away. Sinking one if these things might have environmental impacts on the region
i bet a sunken aircraft career has less ecological damage potential than one actively engaged in war support.
as much as i hate to underrate the ecological destruction of a destroyed carrier group, all that JP-5 and other materiel degrading and corroding in a marine environment… the Straight of Hormuz, just from from heavy maritime traffic alone hauling so much fossil carbon, has got to be fucking gnarly.
its gotta be like port arthur texas and cancer alley already, an oily rainbow sheen catching the moonlight, caught fish coming with their own side of Quaker State.
I was more meaning a possible nuclear hazard
