Trump says record nine-month Navy deployment near Iran will continue

Fact-check index: 58/100 — The core facts (Trump's remarks, USS Abraham Lincoln's nine-month record deployment, and reported sailor mental health struggles) are well supported by the cited France24 and AP sources, but the article's analytical claims about Trump signaling 'no rotation,' sustained Hormuz shipping risk, and energy market pressure are unsourced editorializing not found in the cited material.

• Trump on Friday confirmed the record-length Navy deployment will continue, calling sailor concerns "not nearly long enough" — Matches France24 and AP headline/lede directly.
• USS Abraham Lincoln has spent almost nine months at sea, a record deployment — France24 explicitly states 'a record deployment of almost nine months.'
• Sailors aboard have struggled with mental health issues during the extended mission — France24: 'reports have emerged of sailors struggling with mental health issues.'
• Deployment is 'backing US operations against Iran' / supporting the US war against Iran — France24 says the Lincoln 'has been supporting the US war against Iran.'
• By addressing the strain himself rather than leaving it to the Pentagon, Trump signals no rotation or de-escalation is coming — This is the article's own inference/analysis; neither source states or implies anything about rotation plans or Pentagon deference.
• This sustains shipping risk through the Strait of Hormuz and pressure on energy markets pricing in disruption — Not addressed in either cited source; no mention of Hormuz shipping risk or energy market pricing in the France24 or AP pieces.
• What to watch: whether Pentagon responds with a rotation timeline, and how Tehran reacts — Speculative forward-looking framing not derived from any statement in the sources.
