Strait of Hormuz – In a lightning 7-minute war that has sent shockwaves across the globe, Iran launched a mᴀssive missile swarm that successfully struck the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group in the Strait of Hormuz.

On March 21, 2026, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps fired dozens of ballistic and cruise missiles in a coordinated saturation attack. Iranian sources claim multiple direct hits on the carrier and escort ships, causing significant damage and fires on board the USS Abraham Lincoln.

U.S. Central Command has confirmed the attack occurred and reported that the carrier sustained damage but remains operational. However, the speed and intensity of the Iranian ᴀssault have stunned military analysts, marking the first time in decades that a U.S. supercarrier has come under direct, sustained missile fire in a combat zone.

The 7-minute exchange has dramatically altered the strategic landscape. Iran has shown it is willing to directly challenge the full might of the U.S. Navy in one of the world’s most critical shipping lanes. The United States has responded with overwhelming force, launching immediate retaliatory strikes that have destroyed multiple Iranian coastal missile sites and naval ᴀssets.

President Trump is expected to address the nation shortly as the Pentagon ᴀssesses the full extent of the damage and prepares its next move.

This incident has pushed the conflict to a dangerous new level. With a U.S. aircraft carrier under attack in the Strait of Hormuz, the world is now on the brink of a much wider and more destructive war.

The 7 minutes that just unfolded may have changed the course of history in the Middle East — and beyond.
