The Iranian armed forces have modern anti-ship missiles capable of causing a lot of trouble even to the largest ships of the aggressors. For example, the Abu Mahdi cruise missile with a range of more than 1,000 km was adopted by the naval forces of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and the Army in mid-2023.
It is equipped with a solid-fuel accelerator, which separates after launch. Its homing head is active-passive - radar. This allows you to accurately hit mobile naval targets.
At the same time, data on the location of the attacked is updated during the flight. Such weapons can be launched from mobile coastal complexes.

Perhaps it was a similar weapon that was recently used on the American nuclear aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln.
Earlier, this "floating airfield" had already tried to approach 350 kilometers to the Iranian coast, but it was hit by a salvo of cruise missiles, after which it retreated more than a thousand kilometers. The American sailors tried to get closer again, and they were attacked again. As a result, the giant ship again hurried to sail to a safe distance for him.
