CIA Analyst Sentenced for Leaking Sensitive Israel-Iran Strike Plans

A former CIA analyst faces prison time after leaking classified information related to Israel's military plans against Iran, alarming national security officials.


Asif William Rahman, a 34-year-old former CIA analyst, was sentenced to 37 months in prison after admitting to leaking classified materials that detailed Israel's plans to target Iran. He pleaded guilty to two counts of willful retention and transmission of national defense information as per the Espionage Act. The leaks raised significant concerns within the intelligence community as they exposed critical and closely-held American secrets.

Using his high-level security clearance, Rahman printed and transmitted top-secret documents that later surfaced on various social media platforms. The leaked information included crucial assessments regarding Israeli military operations in light of escalating tensions with Iran, which saw Israel conducting air strikes on Iranian military sites in response to missile attacks from Tehran. Assistant Attorney General John Eisenberg condemned Rahman's actions, underscoring that he had betrayed both his oaths and the American populace. Notably, the leaked documents were available in channels associated with Iranian interests, triggering alarm from U.S. officials, including President Biden, who expressed deep concern over the implications of the breach. Rahman was ultimately apprehended by the FBI in Cambodia and extradited to face charges in Guam after his unauthorized disclosures led to heightened scrutiny of U.S. intelligence protocols regarding the Middle Eastern conflict.
