US Official Arrested for Leaking Israel’s Military Plans Against Iran

A US government employee, Asif William Rahman, was arrested by FBI agents in Cambodia this week for allegedly disclosing classified information regarding Israel’s military plans against Iran. The arrest follows his indictment in a Virginia court on two counts related to the deliberate transmission of national defense information.

The leaked documents, linked to the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency and National Security Agency, were shared on a Telegram channel last month. These documents revealed Israel’s military equipment movements in response to Iran’s ballistic missile attack in early October.

The sensitive information was shared on the “Five Eyes” platform, an intelligence alliance comprising the US, UK, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia. If convicted, Rahman, who held high-level security clearance, could face severe prison sentences.
