INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY

Iran’s early-war attack on the U.S. naval base in Bahrain crippled a key logistics hub, forcing the Navy to resupply from Diego Garcia—about 2,200 miles from carriers operating near Iran. The longer supply route has contributed to shortages and strain aboard the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln, whose 5,000 sailors have spent nearly nine months at sea without a liberty port. Source: NYT
