The aircraft carrier, integral to a large-scale US military buildup in the area, came under attack on the second day of a collaborative US-Israeli offensive against Iran.
The Iranian military forces initiated a rapid counterattack in response to the aggression, launching a series of missile and drone strikes targeting Israeli-occupied territories as well as US bases throughout the region.
Iran has issued prior warnings to countries in the Persian Gulf, advising them against permitting their territory to be used for any acts of aggression targeting Iran.
The Iran Red Crescent Society has reported that enemy strikes have resulted in the deaths of over 200 individuals. Among the casualties are more than 100 children, who tragically lost their lives in an assault on an elementary school located in the southern province of Hormozgan.
