13 Ağustos 2026Al Jazeera

Reports have emerged of US sailors aboard the USS Lincoln attempting to jump ship due to an extended deployment without a port stop. This situation has prompted US senators to call for an inquiry into the conditions faced by the sailors amid ongoing tensions in the Middle East, particularly regarding Iran.
The USS Lincoln is experiencing a record-long period at sea, raising concerns about the mental and physical well-being of the crew.
The USS Lincoln's extended deployment comes at a time of heightened military activity in the Middle East, particularly related to US-Iran relations. The lack of port access for sailors has sparked debates about operational protocols and the psychological impact of prolonged deployments on military personnel.
The unprecedented length of deployment without respite raises serious questions about the policies governing military deployments and the welfare of service members. As the US navigates complex geopolitical tensions, the need for adequate support and care for its sailors becomes increasingly critical.
