TEHRAN, March 6 (Xinhua) -- Iran's navy said Friday that it fired a coast-to-sea missile at the U.S. aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln in the Gulf region, according to a statement posted on the Iranian military's website.
The announcement follows a claim by Iran on Thursday that drones had struck the carrier, an assertion quickly rejected by U.S. officials, who said there was no evidence the vessel was hit. ■
