Tehran, March 25 (Xinhua) — Iran's armed forces said Wednesday they launched several cruise missiles from Iran's southern coast at the USS Abraham Lincoln, some of which struck the warship and "forced it to change its position," media reported.

As Iran's semi-official Fars news agency reported on Wednesday, Iranian Navy Commander Shahram Irani said the aircraft carrier was under constant surveillance and would be subject to further "devastating" strikes if it entered Iranian missile range.

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf indicated on the social media platform X that Iran is closely monitoring all US movements in the West Asian region, and in particular the deployment of US troops.

These events occurred against the backdrop of heightened tensions in the region following joint US-Israeli strikes on Iran that began on February 28, to which Iran and its regional allies responded with strikes on Israeli and US targets across the Middle East.
