AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Admiral Shahram Iranian said on Sunday, March 29, in a gathering with soldiers of the Army’s missile, drone, and air defense units, “Previously, through several phases of missile operations by the Navy, the Abraham Lincoln carrier group and one of its accompanying warships were targeted. The American criminals were forced to repeatedly relocate, moving hundreds of miles away from Iranian territorial waters due to concerns about being within range of our missiles.”
He added, “If this carrier group enters the range of our missiles, we will retaliate across the entire Makran coastline by firing various types of coastal-to-sea missiles.”
Admiral Iranian, referring to the silence of the CENTCOM regarding the limitations and potential damages to American naval units in the region, emphasized, “All positions and movements of the Abraham Lincoln carrier group, as well as its requests to regional countries for logistical support, are precisely and in real time under our surveillance.”
The Commander of the Iranian Army’s Navy explicitly stated, “The eastern part of the Strait of Hormuz and the Oman Sea, which serves as the gateway to the Strait of Hormuz and the Persian Gulf, is fully under the control of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Navy, and we are awaiting the moment of retaliation against you.”
