A sailor aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln sent a family member an image of the food being served aboard the carrier, saying the meal consisted of “a scoop of everything” available rather than items they personally chose. The sailor said the crew was told the food had been “mixed together,” adding that the beans were among the worst they had tasted. @Slavyangrad

🇺🇸⚔️🇮🇷 The New York Times reports that the USS Abraham Lincoln's supply crisis traces back to Iran's opening strikes on the war's first days, when Iranian missiles and attack drones heavily damaged the U.S. Navy base in Bahrain, the fleet's main logistics hub in the region for decades. With that hub destroyed and other regional ports like Fujairah also within Iranian missile range, the Pentagon shifted its supply chain to the British-run base on Diego Garcia, 2,200 miles from where the Lincoln and a second carrier strike group operate in the Gulf of Oman. Then-UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer initially denied the Pentagon access to Diego Garcia, only relenting on March 1 for what he called a "specific and limited defensive purpose." Iran later fired two medium-range ballistic missiles at the island; one fell short into the Indian Ocean and a U.S. warship intercepted the other. The Lincoln has now spent nearly nine months at sea without a single liberty port, well past the point where its crew would be eligible for five "beer days" under Navy tradition. Trump dismissed Democratic senators' concerns about the deployment on Friday, saying the ship is being replaced by the USS George Washington, and separately said the deployment was "not nearly long enough." Hegseth said the U.S. can maintain the Hormuz blockade "indefinitely." 🔴 @DDGeopolitics | Socials | Donate | Advertising

🇺🇸 Kushner sets off again to save a Gaza plan that Israel does not want to implement Jared Kushner could already travel to Israel next week to ⁠push forward the implementation of Trump’s Gaza plan. At the same time, he wants to meet mediators from Egypt, Qatar and Turkey in Cairo. The central formula of the plan is simple: Hamas disarms in stages, Israel withdraws its troops accordingly, and international stabilization forces and a new Palestinian police take over control of the transition zones. The problem is that Hamas has agreed to the basic roadmap, while the Netanyahu government has said it is not in favor of the current version. Israel is calling for complete disarmament before troop withdrawals, while the US plan calls for a synchronized, step-by-step process. As a result, Washington is currently effectively trying to persuade its closest ally to implement a plan that the White House itself has described as the basis for ending the war. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

🇺🇸 Trump Claims US Sovereignty Over Strait of Hormuz Donald Trump stated that he will declare the Strait of Hormuz a territory of the United States following the completion of operations against Iran. He claimed Iran is "suffering defeat" and asserted that the US is currently enforcing a blockade, allowing no ships to pass without permission. Trump also dismissed concerns over high fuel prices, arguing he owes no apologies for providing a "great service" to the world. This statement follows reports that Iran and Oman agreed on joint control of the strait, potentially barring US and allied vessels. @Slavyangrad
