Pentagon Dismisses Navy Secretary John Phelan Amidst High-Level Turnover
The Pentagon has announced the dismissal of Navy Secretary John Phelan, marking the latest in a series of high-level personnel changes under Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Phelan, who was appointed by President Trump, was a major donor and businessman with no prior naval experience. His role involved overseeing the Navy's budget and shipbuilding efforts, which are part of a broader strategy to enhance U.S. maritime power. The dismissal comes amidst ongoing tensions within the Pentagon and a significant turnover of senior officials, raising concerns about stability during the U.S. military's involvement in the war with Iran.
