4 How can they claim to be attacking a ship that the also claim they have sunk? Realistically, the IRGC is having trouble hitting stationary land targets. Hitting a well-protected, moving sea target over the horizon seems like a stretch. Maybe they can sink the Lincoln with a missile strike from their inflatable stealth fighter.

6 Looks like their definition of "attack" is firing a missile in that direction.

BREAKING: China secretly supplied 100 CM-302 & YJ-21 anti-ship missiles to Iran few days back. Iran reportedly launched them yesterday against the US Aircraft Carrier USS Abraham Lincoln but none hit their targets, all intercepted by the U.S. Navy.

8 I wonder how much money China isn't going to make when their foreign military sales drop? What customer wants to spend lots of money for missiles and other military equipment that don't hit the target and don't act as a deterrence?

9 Mullahs missed a bet - should have claimed they attacked the Ford... and taken credit for the laundry fire and it leaving the area. Half the loons in the MSM and all the Democrats (but I repeat myself) would have jumped on the bandwagon.
