Pete Hegseth, Secretary of Defense, rules out that some soldiers deployed in the Gulf of Oman - as part of the war waged against Iran - are being victims of desperation as indicated by some text messages published on social networks, which even mention some attempts by soldiers trying to jump into the sea from the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln.

In statements broadcast to the Newsmax television network, the head of the Department of Defense affirms that the information disclosed regarding possible problems arising inside the nuclear-powered vessel, citing shortages of supplies, water contamination and deterioration of the mental health of military personnel, is unfounded, as the Trump administration has not stopped being aware of the needs of military personnel.

“We make sure that every ship, every crew and every captain has everything we can provide them at all times.

Some deployments are longer than others, and I have deep respect and gratitude for those Sailors. What they do on the high seas and in those extreme conditions, with so few port calls, is incredible,” he expressed regarding the fact that the USS Abraham Lincoln has not touched land since November when it was ordered to move to the Gulf of Oman from where they monitor Iranian operations.

Cleverly, Hegseth did not touch on the topic related to alleged attempts by members of the navy trying to jump over the side of the imposing aircraft carrier due to how complex it is to remain in the middle of the sea under extreme conditions and without a date to return home, since the war conflict against the Islamic Republic does not have a possible date to be resolved.

“My commanders know that we want them back as soon as possible, our service secretaries know it, President Trump expects it,” he emphasized.

To date, soldiers deployed near Iran have not returned to the United States to reunite with their families for more than 250 days and have participated in continuous combat operations for up to 40 days.

For this reason, Senate Democrats demand that an inspection visit be allowed to be carried out on the designated aircraft carrier to evaluate the physical and mental state of the members of the navy.
