On the 21st, the US Department of Defense fired Eric Slevin, editor-in-chief of the military newspaper “The Star-Spangled Banner”, the publisher Max Radler, and Lala Colt, the newspaper's senior Middle East correspondent, for “disobeying orders.” Not long ago, the newspaper reported on the poor working conditions and the demoralization of the sailors aboard the aircraft carrier “Lincoln,” triggering a new round of criticism in the US about the Trump administration's delay in ending the war in Iran. In an interview with CBS News Channel on the 21st, Slevin said that the reason he was fired was “disobeying orders.” Earlier, in an interview with the media, he discussed his differences with the Ministry of Defense.
