They said that the missiles did not come even close.

So I take that to mean that the missiles did target the Lincoln.

We know that Iran had supplied those anti-ship cruise missiles to the Houthis across the Arabian Peninsula there in the Red Sea area.

with anti-ship ballistic missile or anti-ship cruise missiles in the past.

So certainly this is within their capabilities to target the carrier.

Of course, the carrier would be the ultimate target for any of their strike forces, strike packages.

And that's why the carrier has that defensive screen with the standard missile three interceptors fired from the Arleigh Burke destroyers with their Aegis air defense systems.

They're fully capable.

Again, we don't know exactly what the status was, how it was that those missiles did not strike.

Now they're saying ballistic missiles, not cruise missiles.

That could be something that's lost in the wash.

But of course, it remains to be seen exactly what capabilities

they're bringing to bear.

But yes, it does appear that that it was targeted by missiles, and then missiles, at least as of now, as we know, they have not been struck.

And of course, if the carrier had been struck, we'd be seeing images and videos and Iran would be showing it everywhere.

I mean, this would be a high value target in terms

of propaganda for them.

So we would know immediately if that were struck.

There was a carrier that Iran seems to have struck, or excuse me, a tanker that Iran seems to have struck in the Gulf of Oman, the port of Oman, a Palau-flagged oil tanker that is currently sinking right now, as well as, by the way, CENTCOM striking an Iranian naval corvette that is currently on its way to Davy Jones' locker.

Well, Steve, nobody knows this territory better than Eric himself.
