A CIA official has been charged with leaking top-secret US documents about Israel’s potential plan to retaliate against Iran for a missile attack in October.
According to the New York Times, Asif W Rahman, who worked overseas for the US intelligence agency, was arrested by the FBI in Cambodia on Tuesday over the leaks.
The plans were leaked on a Telegram channel group called Middle East Spectator. They were prepared by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, a support agency within the US Department of Defence.
Israel eventually launched direct strikes on Iran in October.
