Iran has announced a major military escalation with the successful test of a stealth-capable “Abu Mahdi” submarine-launched missile, reportedly able to strike targets up to 2,600 kilometers away, placing U.S. naval assets such as the USS Abraham Lincoln within range. Iranian state media released footage of the American carrier near the Gulf, portraying the launch as a direct message to Washington amid intensifying regional tensions.

Tehran says the missile uses radar-evading technology and dual-mode seekers and is designed as a deterrent—and potentially a “carrier killer.” Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned any U.S. attack would ignite a wider regional war, while officials claim Iran can strike U.S. forces whenever necessary, signaling growing confidence in long-range naval capabilities.
