Hormuz Erupts into a “Hellfire” at Sea: The Most Daring Raid in Modern History Ends in Blood
3:20 PM, March 28, 2026 – In the midst of the raging Strait of Hormuz, 32 commandos of the Quds Force of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC-QF) carried out the most daring raid ever: storming the deck of the US Navy’s nuclear aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72).
Just 19 minutes later, the entire attacking force was wiped out. Not a single commando survived.

Details of the “suicide” raid captured on deck cameras
According to sources from the US Central Command (CENTCOM) and partially declassified surveillance video, the Iranian commando group approached in four stealth speedboats under the smoke of a simulated naval exercise. They climbed onto the aircraft deck via ropes and grappling ladders, armed with ᴀssault rifles, anti-tank grenades, and shoulder-fired rocket launchers.

The objective was clear: to destroy as many F-35C and F/A-18E/F Super Hornet aircraft parked on the deck as possible, while simultaneously detonating ammunition to inflict maximum damage on the $13 billion “super aircraft carrier.”

However, the USS Lincoln’s layered defenses worked perfectly:

The AN/SPY-6 radar detected the boats from 18 nautical miles away.
The Phalanx CIWS and SeaRAM systems sH๏τ down two boats from a distance.

Master-at-Arms and Marines quickly deployed, combining armed drones and MH-60R Seahawk helicopters for air support.

The result: 19 commandos were sH๏τ down on the deck within the first 7 minutes. The remaining 13 men attempted to flee into the hangars but were killed by U.S. Marines in a brief skirmish. The entire attack ended at 3:39 PM.

There were no American casualties. Only three security personnel sustained minor injuries.
Iran declared a “moral victory,” while the U.S. called it “a senseless suicide.”
IRGC spokesman Brigadier General Hossein Salami declared shortly afterward:

“Our 32 heroes have proven that no American aircraft carrier is invulnerable. This is a clear message: if the U.S. dares to attack Iranian power plants, then their aircraft carrier deck will become a graveyard.”

Conversely, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth called it a “senseless suicide terrorist act” and warned:

“We were prepared for every scenario. Iran has just opened the door to a confrontation it cannot win.”

The situation escalated wildly in just 48 hours.
The raid occurred just 36 hours after Iran declared a complete closure of the Strait of Hormuz and threatened to attack the UAE’s Barakah nuclear power plant. President Trump extended the ultimatum by five days, but the IRGC clearly chose a preemptive strike in retaliation.

Currently, the USS Lincoln is still patrolling 120 nautical miles from Hormuz, with its entire 300-aircraft squadron on 24/7 combat readiness.

The international military community is stunned: This is the first time in history that an Iranian commando group has dared to directly attack a US aircraft carrier. Despite the disastrous failure, this action has pushed tensions to a “nuclear trigger.”
