Report: Iran Hit Key U.S. Naval Logistics Hub, Affecting Abraham Lincoln

According to SaedNews: U.S. media outlet MSN Now has reported that Iran disrupted the supply chain of the U.S. Navy’s aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln.

The report said Iran destroyed the U.S. Navy’s main logistics hub in Bahrain early in the war, forcing the carrier to seek resupply from Diego Garcia, located 3,540 kilometers away.

Despite efforts by senior U.S. officials to deny the situation, MSN Now challenged statements from the White House and claimed that U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth had concealed the true scale of the damage rather than making it public.

The carrier, which has spent more than 250 days at sea, is reportedly facing serious difficulties obtaining basic supplies. Reports have cited food rationing, damaged plumbing and mounting psychological pressure among its crew.

The Wall Street Journal had previously estimated in an analytical report that rebuilding U.S. military facilities in Bahrain would cost about $400 million.
