Trump minimizes worries on Lincoln crew
President Donald Trump downplayed concerns about the crew on the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln, which is deployed off Iran, asserting that the sailors are not worried and that the ship will leave the area soon. He indicated that its nine-month deployment is not sufficient and that another carrier will replace it, as tensions with Iran continue over the Strait of Hormuz and its nuclear program. Despite reports of deteriorating living conditions and suicide attempts among the crew, a naval official stated that mental health issues have been addressed without any casualties. Meanwhile, Democratic politicians are calling for investigations into the conditions onboard the ship. Lincoln departed California in November 2025, and reports suggest that mission durations typically do not exceed six months to maintain sailors' health and reduce costs.
