Iran’s navy commander warned the United States that the USS Abraham Lincoln would face shore-to-sea missile fire if it entered what he described as Iran’s strike range.

Rear Admiral Shahram Irani said Iran was closely monitoring the carrier group’s movements and its requests to regional countries in real time.

He added that the eastern Strait of Hormuz and the Sea of Oman, which he described as the gateway to the Strait of Hormuz and the Persian Gulf, were under the full control of Iran’s navy.
