"Didn't even come close to the target"

The US Central Command stated that Iran failed to hit the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln.

"The Lincoln was not attacked. The missiles fired did not even come close to their target. The Lincoln continues to launch aircraft in support of Central Command's relentless campaign to protect the American people by eliminating threats from the Iranian regime," the statement said.

The US Armed Forces Command also published photos of aircraft being launched from the aircraft carrier.
