The command emphasized that no US aircraft carriers were hit, dismissing Iranian claims of sinking an American carrier as false messaging. According to CentCom,
The Iranian regime’s false messaging machine continues to falsely claim that it has sunk a US aircraft carrier. The TRUTH: The only carrier that has been hit is the Shahid Bagheri, an Iranian drone carrier. US forces struck the ship within hours of launching Operation Epic Fury.
The Iranian Navy now has no ships - all 11 of them. They also have no HQ and the Naval Commander has been eliminated.
