The aircraft carrier of the United States Navy "Abraham Lincoln" is taking part in the attacks on Iran. This was reported on February 28 by the Israeli Channel 9.

The NBC News channel, citing unnamed American officials, reported that the United States is attacking Iran simultaneously from the air and sea. According to this information, a significant number of fighter jets are involved in the operation, and the US military is launching Tomahawk missiles from its ships.
