US Sailors Attempt Suicide Amid Illegal Strikes on Iran — Reports
10:04 24.09.2026 (Updated: 10:12 24.09.2026) Eight US Navy personnel assigned to the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group attempted suicide during a deployment that included military operations against Iran, American media reported. No sailors died by suicide.
The carrier spent more than six months without a port call, while 6,000–7,000 sailors across the strike group endured constant alerts, low morale and strained living conditions.
“Eight attempted suicides is incredibly high,” a US military official told CNN. “The strain of combat ops is much higher than normal deployments. No port calls, constant alerts, etc.”
Two sailors also went overboard in recent months and were rescued, while another was stopped from jumping, according to the report. Crew members described morale as extremely low, alongside recurring problems with toilets, drinking fountains and hot water.
