Ex-CIA Analyst Admits to Leaking Israel-Iran Plans

Asif Rahman, a former CIA analyst, pleaded guilty to leaking top secret information about Israeli military plans to strike Iran. The documents were leaked on a Telegram channel named 'Middle East Spectator,' leading to the postponement of the military strike. Rahman, who had been with the CIA since 2016, printed, altered, and shared the documents with unauthorized individuals, attempting to cover his tracks by deleting data and shredding printed documents. Arrested in Cambodia, Rahman faces a potential sentence of up to 20 years, though likely less due to his cooperation and first-time offender status. Sentencing is scheduled for May 15 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia.
