Iran’s navy chief Shahram Irani says that the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier will be targeted by the Islamic Republic if it comes within range.
“As soon as the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group comes within firing range, we will avenge the blood of the martyrs of the Dena warship by launching various types of sea-to-sea missiles,” Irani is quoted as saying by state TV, referring to an Iranian frigate sunk by the US on March 4.
