Sayyari added that the aircraft carrier came into the free waters of the Persian Gulf, so the Iranian aircraft had the right to control the movement of the ship.

According to Pentagon officials, it is unclear what defensive actions the crew of an aircraft carrier has taken. No one got injured during the incident.
