@robertshermantv: (SEPTEMBER 10): A rare on-the-record admission from a top Pentagon official. Acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao told The Epoch Times that Iranian forces “blew the hell out of” Naval Support Activity Bahrain, home to the Navy’s 5th Fleet headquarters — damage inflicted in the early days of the six-month war. Cao said the Navy is now evaluating whether it’s even worth rebuilding the base, with a task force currently assessing its future. He also acknowledged the destruction has disrupted supply lines for the USS Abraham Lincoln, which spent months at sea supporting combat operations in the region.
