US service members aboard USS Tripoli and USS Abraham Lincoln in the Middle East report food shortages amid deployment linked to the Iran conflict. Families shared images of meagre meals and said supplies, including fresh produce, are running low, forcing rationing and impacting morale. Efforts to send care packages have stalled after the United States Postal Service suspended deliveries to 27 military ZIP codes due to airspace closures and logistical disruptions. Packages remain held in transit with no timeline for resumption, raising growing concerns over the well-being of troops during extended deployments at sea. (PC: Times Now)
