Navy Secretary Fired Amid Iran Tensions

0:00On April 22nd, the Pentagon just dropped news that Navy Secretary John Fielin is out, effective right now, marking yet another shakeup at the top of the Defense Department. This exit hits just a week after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth fired the Army's top officer, General Randy George, and it follows a pattern of him. Acting several generals, admirals and other brass, since taking office last year, reports points behind the scenes clashes between Fielin and Hegseth, plus Hegseth's deputy, Stephen Feinberg, especially over Navy shipbuilding, plans, no official reason given, though. Fellin, a big Trump campaign donor, with no prior military or Navy leadership gig, steps aside as the U.S. Navy ramps up a blockade on Iranian ports, and targets Tehran Link's ships worldwide during the shaky ceasefire. Stepping in as Acting Secretary is Heng Tao, a 25-year Navy vet who's seen combat, fled Vietnam as a kid, and ran a Trump-backed Senate race.
