Acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao (above) reportedly admitted that the Iranian military “blew the hell” out of the U.S. naval base in Bahrain—a shocking claim that contradicts the Trump administration’s narrative of total destruction of Iran’s attack capabilities.
While the damage to the U.S. Fifth Fleet headquarters at Naval Support Activity Bahrain in a February 28 drone attack has been well documented, Cao’s Thursday comment to a reporter at the conservative outlet The Epoch Times is perhaps the most vivid, sober analysis of the situation from an individual of his ranking.
Cao also told The Epoch Times’ Ryan Morgan that Iran’s attack left American forces unable to “pull in” the USS Abraham Lincoln, the aircraft carrier that was at sea for months and ravaged by reports of poor conditions and low morale.
“This is a pretty stunning admission by the Acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao, whose nomination is hung up in Congress, about how Iranian forces ‘blew the hell out of (U.S. Navy’s 5th Fleet base in) Bahrain,’” Fox News’s Jennifer Griffin wrote. “Haven’t heard a senior U.S. official admit this on the record until now.”
Others noted the Iranian military capacity does not seem to be as depleted as Trump claims.
“A clear and particularly stark pattern we see in the war with Iran is that the Iranians are inflicting tremendous STRATEGIC damage with their missiles, but that the USG denies this at first and only admits it weeks, if not months, later. This creates a PROLONGED false impression that the war is going much better than it actually is and that strategic setbacks are not taking place at all,” wrote Trita Parsi of the Quincy Institute. “The media narrative was that Tehran was utterly failing. In reality, Tehran was showcasing capabilities that the official Western narrative ensured were underestimated.”
When asked about any plans to return to the U.S. base in Bahrain, Cao told the Times, “I have a task force that’s looking at that.” That’s not what you want to hear in an expensive war that’s going very poorly.
Nigerian-trained migrant doctor lied about qualifications when applying for jobs at South London hospitals
Story by Cameron Blackshaw •
Dr Stephen Igwe was struck off from the UK medical register following a tribunal last month
A doctor who trained in Nigeria has been barred from practising in the UK after repeatedly lying on various NHS job applications and claiming a ‘virtual assistant’ was responsible for the errors.
Dr Stephen Igwe falsely claimed he achieved a distinction in his medical degree, exaggerated the importance of his role in a London NHS trust, and denied he was being investigated by the General Medical Council (GMC).
Dr Igwe was struck off the medical register following a Medical Practitioners Tribunal, on behalf of the GMC, which also found his prescribing ability, emergency skills and neonatal knowledge were not up to standard. The tribunal took place between August 10 and August 19.

‘Ir Igwe qualified in 2021 from Abia State University in Nigeria. While working as a junior clinical fellow in neonatology at Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust in July 2024, he applied for the vacancy of senior clinical fellow in paediatric emergency medicine at King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.

Instead of believing click baiters, go and ask “AI” about the state of the US military in the middle east, where the bases are, which countries are allies. You might learn something.
To paraphrase Daiper Man and one of his finest orations: “They have no navy, they have no air force” and the immediate implication is: “So what danger can they now pose to US forces? In what way can they possibly cause us harm?”
The USA has become a laughing-stock in the eyes of the world because of one mentally-ill man’s delusions. A real clown show. Could it get any worse? Well, he’s still in the White House pulling all the levers, so go figure.
“Acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao” .. Ummm… first of all, an asian gook calling himself “Hung” is patently absurd…then there’s the bit about a gook running the Jew-S navy….
As for the base in Bahrain, I got it straight from a costumed imbecile who was stationed there. Iran bombed the piss out of that sodomy parlor. The costumed imbecile was calling his family during the attack as he and his fellow felch factories were literally shitting and pissing themselves in fear…the mighty military of the Jewnited States, strutting bad asses until someone actually shoots back… They were pulled back to hotels miles and miles away…the “military” in f*cking HOTELS, using human shields, how kosher…then Iran f*cked with some of the hotels LOL, so the navy retreated, all the way back to Virginia. Real warriors, that lot.
A bunch of those costumed faggots got extended leave for the “psychological trauma”, and the dumb-f*ck kid I heard the stories from was literally crying about his gaming console being destroyed in the attack and got his grandparents to take him out and buy him a new one. Jesus Christ. He also showed me a photo of him and his buddies over there….wearing f*cking sombreros and dressed as a mariachi band…no shit….they looked like the Mexican Village People, only much gayer…and not one of them looked to have been over 5’10” and 160 #, but they sure looked like they were game for some rousing sodomy in the group shower….
Oh, and ever since they shit themselves during the attack, they’ve all been circulating information about how to get approved for “disability” status and a monthly cheque….when what they really deserve is to get whipped in the street, rolled in pig shit, and mocked mercilessly.
