Strait of Hormuz: CNN shows fighter activity aboard aircraft carriers

American fighters continue to carry out missions throughout the Strait of Hormuz, taking off from the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, in the Arabian Sea. The operations take place as the United States evaluates its next steps in relation to Iran, against a backdrop of growing tension in the region.

CNN International reporter Pamela Brown boarded the aircraft carrier and reported on the conditions of the ongoing military operations. According to her, the last few days have significantly changed the region's strategic calculation, especially in light of nighttime attacks on Iran and ongoing negotiations.

Threats intercepted and heightened alert
The reporter highlighted that the USS Abraham Lincoln is considered a high-value target. According to the reporter, a destroyer accompanying the aircraft carrier has already intercepted multiple Iranian threats, including ballistic missiles and drones aimed at the vessel.

"This ship that I'm on right now is considered a high-value target," Pamela Brown said, adding that a "nearby destroyer has intercepted multiple threats from Iran, with Iran trying to target this ship."

The reporter also noted that although the admiral in charge of the vessel has not confirmed a formal state of alert, he acknowledged that the threat is being closely monitored. Pamela highlighted that the proximity of the destroyer to the aircraft carrier, at a time of such intensity, is remarkable.

According to her, the two aircraft carriers present in the region, as well as the destroyers, are fully capable of carrying out new attacks, including the use of Tomahawk missiles.
