WATCH: Iran claims second missile strike on 'USS Abraham Lincoln' amid US push for peace talks

Iran on Wednesday again claimed it had struck the USS Abraham Lincoln, one of Washington's aircraft strike carriers operating in the Middle East.

This comes amid attempts to bring peace in the war between Iran and US-Israel forces, which nears its fourth week, as the Donald Trump administration has reportedly sought a month-long ceasefire in its 15-point plan to cease the hostilities.

This time round, Tehran has also released a video allegedly showing Qader coast-to-sea cruise missiles of the Iranian Navy fired at the aircraft strike carrier, as per an X post from semi-official news agency Fars.

"The Army's Public Relations Office announced the firing of coast-to-sea cruise missiles toward the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier and the targeting of this vessel," the post read.

According to the IRNA, the commander of the Iranian Navy, Rear Admiral Shahram Irani, said the movements of the “enemy” aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln were under continuous monitoring, and would be targeted once it entered the range of Iran’s missile systems. Irani has also declared that the intent behind the missile launch was to force the aircraft carrier to change positions.

While the Fars visuals show no damage taken by the USS Abraham Lincoln, they do show cruise missiles being fired into the darkness. THE WEEK could not, however, independently verify this video.

If the video is to be believed, it would be the second time this month that Iran targeted the USS Abraham Lincoln—part of a larger strike group of the US military stationed in the Middle East.

The first time took place earlier this month, when the Central Command of the US military (CENTCOM) denied that the aircraft carrier had been "struck" by four ballistic missiles from Tehran.

"The land and sea will increasingly become the graveyard of the terrorist aggressors," the Iran Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) had said at the time, as per an AFP report.
