Turgay Evren @TurgayEvren1 🔺 Reuters: The era of aircraft carriers is coming to an end; USS Abraham Lincoln is limping out of the Persian Gulf. 🔺 Reuters: With its military ingenuity, Iran has proven that aircraft carriers are no longer “impregnable fortresses,” but merely large and expensive targets. 🔺 CNN: A national trauma; how could a $13-billion asset be rendered ineffective within minutes? 🔺 CNN: The return of the USS Abraham Lincoln to the United States in this condition is the biggest blow to the reputation of the American military since the Vietnam War. 🔺 Sputnik: The legend is dead; Abraham Lincoln arrived to threaten, but is returning as a floating pile of scrap. 🔺 AFP (Agence France-Presse): Panic in the Pentagon; with the withdrawal of the USS Abraham Lincoln, the balance of power in West Asia has definitively shifted in Iran’s favor. 🔺 AFP: U.S. allies are horrified; if even America’s largest warship cannot protect itself against Iran, no one can rely on American protection anymore. 🔺 The Telegraph: This defeat will go down in history as “the moment Western naval dominance collapsed.”
