Estados Unidos envía un segundo portaaviones a Oriente Medio mientras crecen las dudas sobre el estado del USS Abraham Lincoln, que lleva más de 260 días ininterrumpidos en el mar. Legisladores demócratas exigen explicaciones al Pentágono por posibles problemas de salud mental y de suministros entre la tripulación. El secretario de Defensa, Pete Hegseth, salió a desmentir estas versiones calificándolas de exageradas. El caso pone el foco en el desgaste que sufren los marinos y los buques tras meses de operaciones vinculadas al conflicto con Irán.
