The war against Iran became prolonged, which led to many officers deployed on the American aircraft carrier fleet attempting suicide.
According to American media, several officers attempted to jump into the sea from the American aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln due to the long deployment.
According to an American news website, the wife of an officer said that due to the long and continuous duty, her husband tried to jump from the ship, while the ship’s crew prevented many officers from doing so.
The report also claims that there is a shortage of food and basic necessities on the American fleet.
On the other hand, US senators have demanded an investigation into the incidents, while the US Navy has denied an increase in suicide attempts or mental health problems among soldiers deployed on the ship.
According to media reports, about 5,000 US sailors and Marines have been deployed on the ship for more than 250 days.
