U.S. WARSHIPS IN WATERS around Iran could not dock anywhere because “all our bases were destroyed”, a Navy chief revealed yesterday.
美國戰艦在伊朗周邊海域無法停靠任何地方，因為「我們所有的基地都被摧毀了」，一名海軍指揮官昨日透露。
他補充說，林肯號航空母艦實際上在短短四個月內就耗盡了食物——船員們在接下來的六個月裡不得不依賴特殊配給。
美國對伊朗這場曲折戰爭的驚人細節，由林肯號航空母艦上一名不具名的海軍指揮官揭露，他接受了加州房貸經紀人傑森·霍爾的採訪，後者是對方的私人朋友。
霍爾的報導迅速在社群媒體平台X上獲得超過百萬次瀏覽。
船員對赫格塞斯喝倒彩

「赫格塞斯在他們回來的前一天登艦，被狠狠地喝了倒彩。他說他從未見過這種場面。」
至於有關食物和其他補給條件有多糟的新聞報導，這名海軍指揮官告訴他，「實際情況更糟」。
「他說他和其他軍官會見了海軍上將。他們問發生了什麼事，上將說他完全不知道。國防部沒有任何明確指示，組織混亂，沒有目標概念，完全沒有計劃，也沒有支援。就是一團混亂、像米老鼠式的荒唐行動，」使用網路化名Jhallito的霍爾說道。
沒有撤退策略
最令人沮喪的是，這名海軍指揮官說完全沒有任何形式的撤退策略。「他看不到我們有任何辦法在短期內脫身。沒有明確的勝利之路，」霍爾補充道。
林肯號航空母艦是伊朗附近海域85艘艦艇之一——而且全部都是美國的，因為他們沒有得到任何其他國家的支援。
川普頻繁聲稱伊朗已沒有剩餘的空軍或海軍，這顯然不準確，因為美國艦艇一直處於伊朗的持續壓力之下。
「他說他們不斷遭到攻擊。24小時處於防禦狀態。不被允許反擊。命令完全混亂，前一秒是派遣飛機攻擊，下一秒是封鎖和照看船隻。他們就這樣在海上繞圈航行了幾個月，沒有明確目標，」霍爾說。
類似故事
其他美國軍人的朋友和家屬也加入了討論。
「我哥們當時駐紮在約旦那個大型空軍基地，那裡被持續轟炸了超過6個月，」來自南卡羅來納州的比爾·NHI說。
「他那邊的故事非常相似。不斷面臨被炸死的威脅——數百次紅色警報、徹夜難眠、食物爛透了、零計劃，比這裡報導的還要糟糕得多。」
霍爾說，船員們在這種惡劣情況下努力服從命令的表現令人欽佩。
「這讓我對我們軍隊的男女官兵更加尊敬。被扔進一個完全未知的處境，幾乎沒有人認同或想做，同時還在不被告知的情況下不斷延長部署——而他們就這樣做了11個月的工作。我從未如此驕傲，」他補充道。
The USS Abraham Lincoln actually ran out of food in just four months—and sailors had to rely on special rations for the next six, he added.
Shocking details of the US’s tortuous war on Iran were revealed by an unnamed Navy chief from the USS Abraham Lincoln, interviewed by California mortgage broker Jason Hall, a personal friend.
Hall’s write-up quickly got more than a million views on X, the social media platform.
SAILORS BOO HEGSETH
Secretary for War Pete Hegseth was greeted with boos by sailors when he boarded the USS Abraham Lincoln, the senior sailor revealed.
“Hegseth went on the ship the day before they got back & was soundly booed. Said he’s never seen that.”
As for the news reports about how bad conditions were in terms of food and other supplies, “it was worse”, the Navy chief told him.
“Said he & other officers met with the Admiral of the Navy. They asked what was going on & he said he had no idea. Zero clear direction of from DoD, terrible organization, no idea of objective, no plan at all & no support. Just a total cluster & Mickey Mouse operation,” said Hall, who uses the online name Jhallito.
NO EXIT STRATEGY
Most depressingly, the Navy chief said there was no exit strategy of any kind. “He doesn’t see any way we get out of there anytime soon. No clear path to victory,” Hall added.
The USS Abraham Lincoln was one of 85 ships in the waters near Iran—and all were from the US, as they were not getting support from any other country.
Trump’s frequent claims that Iran had no remaining air force or navy were clearly inaccurate as the US ship was under continuous pressure from the Iranians.
“He said they were under attack constantly. On defense 24 hours. Not allowed to retaliate. Complete disarray in orders from sending planes to attack one minute to blockade & babysitting ships the next. They just sailed circles for months with no clear objective,” Hall said.
SIMILAR STORIES
Other friends and family of US military staff joined in the discussion.
“My buddy was in that huge air base in Jordan that got bombed constantly for over 6 months,” said Bill NHI from South Carolina.
“Very similar stories from his end. Constant threat of being blown up – hundreds of red alerts, sleepless nights, s**t food, zero plan, way worse than what was reported here.”
Hall said that the sailors’ efforts to follow orders in this awful situation was impressive.
“This gives me so much more respect for our military men & women. Tossed into a completely unknown position, that virtually none agreed with or wanted to do, while being extended all the time without notice & they just did the work for 11 months. I’ve never been prouder,” he added.
