US Navy Secretary Fired Amid Ongoing Pentagon Shakeup. John Phelan has been dismissed from his role, according to sources, marking the latest leadership change within the Pentagon during a period of heightened military tension. Officials confirmed Phelan’s departure was effective immediately, though no specific reason was given. His exit follows a series of high-level shakeups led by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, including the recent removal of senior military figures. Hung Cao is set to take over as acting Navy secretary, ensuring continuity as leadership changes unfold. The reshuffle comes at a critical moment, with the U.S. increasing naval deployments in the Middle East amid ongoing tensions involving Iran. Washington is relying heavily on naval forces as part of its broader strategy to pressure Tehran during fragile ceasefire negotiations. With multiple top officials replaced in recent months, the Pentagon is undergoing one of its most significant leadership transitions in years—raising questions about stability and strategy during a sensitive geopolitical period.
