Why is Iran unafraid of USS Lincoln? IRGC bets on these weapons to blow up US' $13 billion warship
Published on Feb 08, 2026 02:31 am IST
Despite the arrival of the USS Abraham Lincoln, Iran shows no sign of fear, relying on asymmetric warfare to counter U.S. naval power. Experts say Tehran cannot match Washington ship-for-ship, but uses swarm boats, naval mines, Ghadir-class submarines, drones and anti-ship ballistic missiles to threaten carriers in the narrow Strait of Hormuz. Iran claims its Fattah-2 hypersonic missile can evade U.S. defences, while low-cost weapons create an economic advantage over billion-dollar warships.
