Opinion: USS Abraham Lincoln’s Long Deployment and Visible Rust

Falsehood is Either Eaten Away by Termites or Consumed by Rust

By: Hujjat al-Islam wa al-Muslimin Sheikh Yusha Zafar Hayati

The rusted US aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln is anchored off the coast of Thailand. It appears to be a clear symbol of an obsolete and false system. It is a rusted naval fleet whose crew members’ facial freshness has been completely wiped out by 286 days of nerve-shattering fear—a constant threat where the lingering dread constantly gnawed at their minds that Iranian suicide boats might collide with them, leaving them to face a possible attack at sea.

However, Iran used a weapon far deadlier than those suicide boats: keeping fear alive in their hearts, maintaining sustained psychological pressure. From now on, every individual among this crew will remember these 286 days for the rest of their lives and express their terror. Just as the Iranian sea rusted this massive piece of iron, Iranian strategy placed sustained pressure on the crew. The ship and crew now require recovery, and the recovery of both is extremely difficult.

The naval fleet that arrived beating the drums of war under the delusion of conquering the Persian Gulf has now become so obsolete that it could not even return to the United States and had to stop at the Laem Chabang port in northern Thailand. Although this entire port has been sealed off to repair this hollow, giant fleet of a false power and to care for its crew, social media is flooded with clips where ordinary people show footage of this fleet, criticizing the vessel and US policy.

This is the ultimate victory of the resistance front: it has empowered ordinary people around the world to openly criticize falsehoods and raise their voices against oppression without fear, because they now fully realize that “the elephant has two sets of teeth: one for eating and one for show.”
