US President Donald Trump dismissed circulated images showing the USS Abraham Lincoln on fire as entirely fake, stating the aircraft carrier has not been targeted during the ongoing regional conflict.
US President Donald Trump has publicly denied claims that the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier has been attacked, addressing the widespread circulation of media depicting the vessel on fire.
According to Al Jazeera, a Qatari state-funded network, Trump stated that "the images showing the burning of the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln are completely fabricated and it was not targeted at all." The breaking news alert regarding the President's denial was also carried by the Iraqi outlet Al Fallujah TV.
The circulation of these images occurs during an unprecedented regional war that erupted earlier this month. Following the US-Israeli Operation "Epic Wrath," Iranian forces and aligned militias have launched extensive retaliatory strikes targeting US military bases and strategic maritime infrastructure across the Middle East.
