USS Abraham Lincoln leaves the Middle East after a nine-month deployment that was extended by the Iran war, bringing nearly 5,000 sailors and Marines one step closer to returning home. The carrier played a major role in U.S. military operations, launching thousands of aircraft sorties during the conflict. However, its mission was overshadowed by reports of mental health struggles, sanitation issues, and food shortages raised by crew families. As Abraham Lincoln heads back to San Diego, the USS George Washington has arrived to replace it, ensuring America's carrier presence continues in the Middle East amid rising regional tensions and ongoing security challenges.#USNavy #USSAbrahamLincoln #MiddleEast #IranWar #USMilitary

‘Plan To Meet Vance, Mamdani’: Why MEA Denied Permission For Telangana CM Revanth Reddy’s US Trip?

Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy’s proposed US visit was denied clearance by the Ministry of External Affairs, while his UK trip was approved. According to sources, the Centre found the proposed US itinerary inappropriate because it included meetings with US Vice-President JD Vance, New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani and one of US President Donald Trump’s sons. The official itinerary had not publicly mentioned these meetings, but sources said they were included in the programme shared with the MEA. The Centre reportedly viewed the meetings as political activity, while the stated purpose of the visit was to promote Telangana’s Rising Telangana initiative. Telangana BJP demanded an explanation from Reddy. Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka criticised the decision, saying the visit focused on education and investment. Revanth is currently in the UK.
